1 ½ tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 small shallot, finely minced
¼ tsp black pepper, freshly ground

For serving

1 oz parmesan cheese, shaved with a vegetable peeler
Chef's tip
Match the form the recipe uses - grated for sprinkling and sauces, a firm wedge for shaving. If the recipe melts the cheese, choose a product labeled meltable.
2 tbsp pine nuts, toasted (optional)
1 tsp lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

1
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Fill a large bowl with ice water and set it nearby.
2
Add the asparagus to the boiling water and cook until bright green and just tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 2–3 minutes for medium spears or 1–2 minutes for thin spears. Drain through a colander and immediately transfer to the ice water, submerging the spears fully until cold, about 2 minutes.
