👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Wash the asparagus and snap off the tough, woody ends. You can peel the thicker spears if desired.
2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, then add the asparagus and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
3. Immediately drain the blanched asparagus and plunge it into an ice bath to stop the cooking process and preserve its vibrant color.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and a pinch of black pepper to create the dressing.
5. Arrange the chilled asparagus spears on a serving plate. Drizzle generously with the prepared vinaigrette.
