Asparagus With Pistachio Vinaigrette
INGREDIENTS
- 1 ¼ pounds fresh asparagus
- Salt & pepper
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons vinegar
- 3 tablespoons chopped California pistachios

Trim asparagus spears as needed. Arrange asparagus in a single layer in a large skillet. Add boiling water to cover and 1 teaspoon of salt. Cover and simmer until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk oil, vinegar, pistachios, chervil and salt and pepper to taste. Drain asparagus. Serve warm with vinaigrette. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
