Asparagus with Lemon Vinaigrette
A handy Spring recipe when asparagus is in season and inexpensive.
Ingredients
Directions
- In a jar or bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Store, covered, overnight in the refrigerator. Serve at room temperature.
- Blanch the asparagus in lightly-salted boiling water for about 3 minutes or until crisp-tender; do not overcook.
- Remove from heat and refresh under cold water; drain well.
- Toss asparagus with enough lemon vinaigrette to lightly coat.
- Arrange asparagus on serving platter or individual serving plates.
- Note: need to allow time for the dressing to season so best prepare it the day before use.

Very good flavor, easy prep and but since the olive oile adds fat, I just drizzle the marinade and skip the overnight soak.
