Asparagus and Green Beans with Tarragon Lemon Dip image

The asparagus was a bit tough. I think I cooked it for too long.

This recipe is a bit too bland for my taste. I added some garlic and red pepper flakes to spice it up.

I didn't have any lemon juice, so I used lime juice instead. It worked out great.

I'm not a fan of tarragon, so I used basil instead. It was still delicious.
