Lemon Dijon Asparagus image

This is my simple, healthy and tasty way to make asparagus! This is also good with balsamic vinegar in place of lemon juice. Yes, this is has very strong flavors but I love it! I recently made this with carrot ribbons made with my vegetable peeler and it was a great addition.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (12 ounce) bag frozen thin asparagus spears (I use Trader Joe's frozen) or 1 (12 ounce) bag fresh thin asparagus spears (I use Trader Joe's frozen)
1 lemon, juice of
1 tablespoon whole grain Dijon mustard
black pepper
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Spray large skillet with oil. Heat over medium-high.
  • Add asparagus spears. Try to get them all flat in the pan. Turn a few times until lightly browned and heated through, but still bright green and crisp tender.
  • Stir together juice of 1 lemon, Dijon mustard and black pepper to taste (I put a lot). Pour mixture into pan with asparagus and toss. Cook 1 minute until heated.
  • Serve immediately.
  • I like to serve this with simple baked chicken breasts or fish.
