This is an easy side dish that goes very well with ham. It's also nice for Easter. Cook the asparagus ahead of time, then serve at room temperature with the dressing - YUM!

Time 30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 lbs slender asparagus
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 slices smoked bacon
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
2 large shallots, minced
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 500°.
  • Trim ends of asparagus; toss with olive oil; arrange in a single layer on a jelly roll pan; sprinkle with salt.
  • Bake until tender and browned, about 10 minutes, turning asparagus once (you can do the recipe up to this point and then finish it and serve at room temperature).
  • To make the dressing: cook bacon until crisp; drain well; crumble into a small bowl; add cilantro and mix well.
  • Whisk together shallots, olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper to taste.
  • Arrange asparagus on a platter; drizzle with dressing; sprinkle bacon mixture over the top.
