Ingredients

16 asparagus, average size   320 g
1 tomatoes, sliced   120 g
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil   30 mL
1 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed   1/2 lemon
1/2 clove garlic, pressed  
  salt to taste    
  ground pepper to taste    

Method

  1. Prepare the asparagus and blanch them about 10 min in a pot of boiling salted water. Make sure you cook them al dente.
  2. Take the asparagus out of the pot using tongs or a slotted spoon because the spears are too delicate to be drained directly in a colander. Rinse the asparagus in cold water to stop the cooking and fix the colour. Let them cool down 10 min or so, then distribute them onto the individual serving plates.
  3. Prepare the tomatoes: cut them, then place them on the plates next to the asparagus.
  4. In a small bowl, add the oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Beat well, using a fork, until the vinaigrette is emulsified. Press the garlic and add it to the bowl and mix. Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables and serve.
