Ingredients

• 1 pound Asparagus
• 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Shallot, minced
• 2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Trim the woody ends of the asparagus. Cut asparagus spears into 2-inch pieces.

Step 2

Clean and slice the cremini mushrooms into 1/4-inch thick slices.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and just tender. Drain and transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and are golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the minced shallot, sherry vinegar, mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. Slowly drizzle in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil while whisking until emulsified.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the asparagus and mushrooms. Drizzle the sherry vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss to coat evenly.

Step 7

Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled as a side dish.
