Tarragon balances the tangy flavor from lemon in the creamy sauce covering colorful asparagus and green beans. I serve this as a side dish as well as an appetizer. Ingredients:
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed |
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed |
1 cup mayonnaise |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
1 shallot, finely chopped |
2 tablespoons minced fresh tarragon or 2 teaspoons dried tarragon |
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley or 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes |
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel |
dash pepper |
Directions:
1. Place 1 in. of water in a Dutch oven; add asparagus and beans. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 3-5 minutes or until crisp-tender.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Drain vegetables; transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle with dip. Yield: 10 servings.
