1
Prepare the Asparagus
Trim the tough ends off the asparagus spears and rinse them under cold water.
2
Blanch the Asparagus
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking.
3
Dress the Asparagus
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Drain the asparagus and pat dry, then toss with the dressing until evenly coated.
4
Serve
Arrange the dressed asparagus on a serving platter and enjoy cold or at room temperature.
