Why This Recipe Works

We developed a perfect asparagus recipe, including a simple sauce, that can be completed in just 10 minutes. We broiled the asparagus to concentrate the flavor and lightly caramelize its peel. While the asparagus cooked, we whisked together a simple, flavorful vinaigrette to drizzle over the hot asparagus before serving.

Ingredients

2 pounds thin asparagus spears (2 bunches), tough ends trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper
2 medium scallions, white and green parts, minced
1 inch piece fresh ginger, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
2 small garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons sesame oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
¼ cup lime juice from 2 large limes
1 tablespoon honey
