There’s almost nothing more classic than a roasted asparagus salad with a tangy, spicy Dijon dressing. Prepared like this, or in any way, asparagus is one of the easiest vegetables to get on the table...

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch asparagus, peeled and trimmed of woody bottoms
  • ¼ cup olive oil plus 2 tablespoons, divided
  • 1 lemon, juiced, about 3 tablespoons
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 head romaine lettuce, torn or cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 small shallot, thinly sliced
  • ⅓ cup slivered almonds
  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt to taste
