Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed about 1-inch
  • ½ cup shallots, finely minced
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest, finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  2. Place asparagus on a large-rimmed (18-inch-by-13-inch) baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Roast until crisp-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Set aside to cool, then cut spears into thirds.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk shallots, lemon juice, lemon zest, mustard, pepper, salt and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil until thoroughly blended.
