Asparagus with Dijon Vinaigrette

ASPARAGUS SIDE

Asparagus is one of the few vegetables that my kids love so we cook it all the time for dinner around here. This one has a little kick to make it unique.

HOW TO COOK ASPARAGUS

There are different ways to cook asparagus. In this recipe, the asparagus is sauteed in a pan until tender. That’s usually the way I cook them because it’s fast. 

For a different version you can roast the asparagus. It gives it a different flavor. I usually toss in olive oil and roast for 12-15 minutes at 400 degrees until tender.
