ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH LEMON VINAIGRETTE --COURTESY MELISSA D'AR
Simple, fresh, and bright. Serve warm or cold. Recipe by Melissa d'Arabian, winner of "The Next Food Network Star" 2009. Her show is called "Ten Dollar Dinners with Melissa d'Arabian". This recipe is from "Savory Savings" episode. This would be wonderful dish for a picnic. COOKS NOTE: I had more asparagus then the recipe called for so I doubled the Vinaigrette but used only about 3/4 of it. Since you have the whole lemon anyway, you might as well double it. I did not want to saturate the asparagus but felt it needed more. I also used some of the lemon zest as a garnish and served it chilled. It was wonderful...

ASPARAGUS VINAIGRETTE
Asparagus is at its flavorful best for only a short time, usually between March and May, when you'll want to avail yourself of its abundance. There are, of course, a number of ways to prepare and serve asparagus, but this method, in which it is paired with a savory vinaigrette, is one of Martha's seasonal favorites.

Steps:
- Trim asparagus and have ready a large bowl of ice and cold water. In a large saucepan of boiling salted water cook asparagus until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes, and with tongs transfer to ice water to stop cooking. Drain asparagus well in a colander and pat dry.
- Gently toss asparagus with vinaigrette and salt and pepper to taste.
Tips:
- Choose thick asparagus spears: Thicker spears will hold up better to roasting and won't get as limp.
- Trim the asparagus properly: Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus spears, about 1 inch from the bottom.
- Toss the asparagus with olive oil and salt before roasting: This will help the asparagus to brown and caramelize in the oven.
- Roast the asparagus at a high temperature: 425°F (220°C) is ideal. This will help the asparagus to cook quickly and evenly.
- Roast the asparagus until it is tender-crisp: The asparagus should still have a slight bite to it. If you overcook it, it will become mushy.
- Make the lemon vinaigrette while the asparagus is roasting: This will give the flavors time to meld together.
- Drizzle the asparagus with the lemon vinaigrette before serving: This will add a bright and tangy flavor to the asparagus.
- Serve the asparagus warm or at room temperature: Both are delicious.
Conclusion:
Roasted asparagus with lemon vinaigrette is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed all year round. It is a healthy and flavorful way to get your daily dose of vegetables. The lemon vinaigrette adds a bright and tangy flavor to the asparagus, making it a perfect accompaniment to grilled meats, fish, or chicken.
