From A Slice of Paradise. This has been a regular at our house for years. It can be made well in advance. It's quick and easy to assemble for an everyday dinner and pretty enough for a dinner party. I often substitute verjuice for the vinegar. Serve cold. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon sugar |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1 lb fresh asparagus |
1/3 cup chopped tomato |
Directions:
1. Mix basil, oil, vinegar, salt, sugar and pepper. Set aside.
2. Cut ends off asparagus.
3. Cook asparagus in a large pot of simmering water for 4 minutes.
4. Drain and put in an ice bath.
5. Remove asparagus to a platter and top with chopped tomato.
6. Pour vinaigrette on asparagus.
7. Chill until ready to serve.
