Asparagus with Orange Dressing and Toasted Hazelnuts Recipe

Asparagus with Orange Dressing and Toasted Hazelnuts Recipe

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped hazelnuts
  • 1 1/2 lb asparagus
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
  • 2 teaspoons fresh orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Toast hazelnuts in a small shallow baking pan until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Trim woody ends from asparagus and, if desired, peel lower 2 inches of stems with a vegetable peeler. Cook asparagus in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 6 minutes, and drain well in a colander. Whisk together remaining ingredients except nuts with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Transfer hot asparagus to plates. Spoon orange dressing over top and sprinkle with nuts.
