Citrus-Dressed Asparagus
1 lb. asparagus 2 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil 4 tsp. fresh lemon juice 4 tsp. orange juice generous pinch of cayenne salt and ground black pepper to taste
Snap off the tough stems of the asparagus spears. Rinse the spears and cut them into 2- or 3-inch pieces. Steam the asparagus.
Meanwhile, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, cayenne, and salt and pepper. As soon as the asparagus is ready, remove it to a serving bowl or plate, pour the dressing over it, and serve warm.
This recipe is also excellent with artichokes, carrots, zucchini, yellow squash and sweet potatoes.
