Asparagus with Citrus Dressing

By Dglmedia

Tender-crisp asparagus doesn't need a lot of extras to make it taste good...but you should try this brightly flavored dressing that highlights the asparagus without overpowering it.

Ingredients

• 24 spears asparagus (about 1 pound), trimmed
• 3 tablespoons orange juice
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/3 cup Crisco® vegetable oil
• 2 hard-cooked egg yolks, finely chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Heat 2 inches of water in a large skillet over medium-high heat to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 5 minutes or until tender-crisp. Drain the asparagus well in a colander. Place the asparagus onto a serving tray.

Beat the orange juice, lemon juice, mustard, sugar, black pepper and oil in a small bowl with a fork or whisk. Drizzle the dressing over the asparagus. Sprinkle with the egg yolk, if desired.
