Steamed Asparagus with Shallot Vinaigrette

By á-23494

When the asparagus is fresh and tender, this is a perfect side dish, served either warm or cold. Leftovers are perfect the next day, when the vinaigrette has soaked in a bit more.

Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh asparagus
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 shallot, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
• Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
