I wanted a simple asparagus side dish recipe, and found this sautéed asparagus with Dijon vinaigrette recipe on Martha Stewart. It was easy to make and tasted flavorful, tangy, and delicious. This easy asparagus recipe paired nicely with creamy mashed potatoes and apricot-soy pork chops.

Sautéed Asparagus with Dijon Vinaigrette

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 clove of garlic, minced
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
Pinch of sugar, to taste
1 tbsp butter (or olive oil)
½ pound thin asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2½-inch lengths

How to Make Sautéed Asparagus with Dijon Vinaigrette:

Whisk together olive oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic, sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, and sugar in a small bowl.

Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the asparagus is fork-tender, 5-6 minutes.

Add the well-whisked vinaigrette and stir to combine.

Serve immediately. Enjoy.
