Warm Asparagus With Tarragon Vinaigrette

Recipe Ingredients

1 lb	454g / 16oz	Asparagus
1/2 cup	118ml	Olive oil
2 tablespoons	30ml	Dijon-style mustard
1/4 cup	59ml	White wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Salt
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Freshly ground black pepper
2		Shallots peeled - finely
2 tablespoons	30ml	Minced fresh tarragon

Recipe Instructions

This simple dish has such a compelling taste, you'll never have leftovers. Trim the asparagus, discarding woody ends. Steam the spears whole, for about 3 or 4 minutes, until just tender when pierced with a fork. Do not overcook. Rinse in cold water, drain.

Place the olive oil in a small bowl; add the mustard and beat until the oil thickens. Add the vinegar, salt pepper, shallots and tarragon. Arrange the still-warm asparagus on a serving plate and pour the dressing over it.
