Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb asparagus
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tbsp fresh dill
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper

Instructions
Wash and trim the asparagus by snapping off the tough ends.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of water over medium heat. Add the asparagus and cover with a lid. Steam for 4-6 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender but still slightly crisp. Drain any excess water and set the asparagus aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and finely minced garlic to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the steamed asparagus and gently toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle fresh chopped dill, salt, and black pepper over the asparagus.
Serve immediately as a warm side dish or let it cool and serve at room temperature for a refreshing option.
