ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH CREAMY LEMON DRESSING



Roasted Asparagus with Creamy Lemon Dressing image

This lemon sauce would perk up pretty much any kind of roasted vegetable.

Provided by Katie Workman

Categories     Side Dish

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds medium-thick asparagus
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper (to taste)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons crème fraiche or sour cream
½ teaspoon hot sauce (such as Sriracha, or to taste)
⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Trim the bottom 2-inches from the asparagus, and if desired, peel the lower 2 inches of the stalks. Place the asparagus in a baking pan. Don't worry if the stalks overlap a bit. Drizzle the tablespoon of olive oil over them and toss gently to coat the asparagus evenly. Sprinkle on the salt and pepper, toss again, and spread out in the pan.
  • Roast the asparagus for 10 to 14 minutes, until just tender and slightly browned. Remember that they will continue to cook a bit after you remove them from the oven, so take them out while they're still a little firmer than you would like.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, zest, crème fraiche, and Sriracha until smooth. Slowly pour in the ⅓ cup olive oil, whisking all the while until the dressing is thick, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Let the asparagus cool slightly, and while still warm drizzle over some of the lemon sauce. Serve right away with the rest of the sauce passed on the side if desired.

10 ounces penne pasta

Now drain the pasta and asparagus. Rinse under cold water for just a few seconds to stop the cooking process and cool slightly.
  • Combine -- Now toss the still slightly warm pasta with the dressing. Add in the scallions, extra salt and pepper and serve garnished with the cheese fresh lemon slices. A nice simple salad!
  • Now this is a very light tasting salad with a very simple dressing. It doesn't have bold flavors, but subtle flavors which is a nice compliment to a fresh herb roasted chicken breast or piece of fish. This is all about fresh subtle flavors.

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 15m

Yield 4 Servings, more (4-6) if served family style, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb asparagus, cut in 1 1/2-inch pieces on an angle
2 cups cremini mushrooms (cut in half or quarters depending on the size more of less to taste)
1 small onion, cut in quarters and thin sliced
6 cups bibb lettuce (1 1/2 cups per person)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
salt
pepper
6 tablespoons plain yogurt
2 teaspoons stone ground mustard (dijon will work, but nearly as good)
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
1 -2 teaspoon milk (used to thin out the dressing, use as much as you like)
salt, to taste (go easy, the cheese is salty)
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Dressing -- Make this ahead and refrigerate until ready to use. In a small bowl, add the yogurt, mustard and parmesan, salt and pepper to taste and refrigerate until ready to use. If the dressing is too thick for you, add a little of the milk. I usually add about 1 teaspoon, but add more if you like the dressing a bit thinner. Make ahead, it is even better.
  • Asparagus and Mushrooms -- When ready to make the salad, add the asparagus and mushrooms to a small bowl and mix with the olive oil, italian seasoning, pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well and add to a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or not. The parchment paper makes for a quick clean up. Roast in a 425 degree oven, middle shelf for 7-10 minutes. You want the asparagus and mushrooms roasted and slightly tender, but not over done.
  • Salad and Plate -- In a large bowl, add 1 tablespoon of the dressing and toss with the lettuce and onion. Plate about 1 1/2 cups of the lettuce per plate and top with the asparagus and mushrooms. Drizzle the creamy dressing over the salad and serve. ENJOY! This is a simple but very good salad.
