Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt
1 1/2 to 2 pounds asparagus
1 shallot, peeled
2 tablespoons tarragon leaves
2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley leaves
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup grapeseed oil
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Bring medium pot of salted water to boil. Trim and peel the asparagus and reserve the trimmings. Add trimmings and shallot to the pot, lower heat and simmer until almost tender, about 7 minutes. Add tarragon and parsley and continue cooking just until the herbs are bright green, about 1 minute. Drain.
  • Transfer the herbs and trimmings to a blender or food processor, add 2 ice cubes and 1/4 cup water, and purée until smooth. Add a little more water to the blender if necessary. Add the lemon juice and a pinch salt. Then, with the motor running, add the grapeseed and olive oils. Adjust the seasoning if necessary, then strain through a sieve, reserving the dressing and discarding the rest.
  • Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Put in the asparagus stalks, in batches if necessary, lower heat and simmer until just tender and still bright green, about 5 minutes. Drain on towels and serve with vinaigrette spooned over.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I often make a double batch of the vinaigrette and use it on salads or grilled vegetables throughout the week.

This recipe is a great starting point for creating your own variations. I like to add a bit of chopped red onion or crumbled bacon to the vinaigrette.

This asparagus vinaigrette was a delightful dish! The combination of flavors was perfect, with the bright and tangy vinaigrette complementing the slightly bitter asparagus perfectly.
