    This paired really well with the Parmesan crusted salmon absolutely beautiful delicious meal so easy so quick hardly any cleanup. Absolutely perfect.

  2. I added a little honey because my dressing was quite acidic. That balanced the flavor well.

    Has anyone served the leftovers next day at room temp? Does it hold up?

  3. This was so good! I roasted my asparagus with olive oil, salt and pepper and I also added a minced clove of garlic to the dressing. So good!

  4. Tried this with Red Wine vinegar and wasn’t a huge fan, but remade with Champaign Vinegar and it was delish!

  5. Very simple and delicious recipe. I like to have the asparagus a little softer and at room temperature. The vinaigrette was perfect. My dinner guests raved over this little salad.

    I made this for a dinner party (tripled it). I made the vinaigrette a day ahead and steamed the asparagus the afternoon of the party which eased dinner prep. I loved the results, as did my guests. I would definitely make it again!

  7. So delicious. I made this tonight along with your broiled tilapia with garlic dish–perfect combo. I had to use rice vinegar because I ran out of red wine vinegar; just as yummy. Thank you, as always, Gina! Congrats on your new home, too! xx

    Gina – I love this Dijon vinaigrette and want to make a large serving of it for a big salad. Would you just double/triple each ingredient? 

  9. I don't understand where the WW points come from. The only ingredient I see with any points value is the olive oil-3 points for the entire recipe. Can you clarify? Thanks!

    This was my first recipe from this website and it was great. As I am not a parsley fan I swapped it out with cilantro and added a touch of honey to take the edge off of the vinegar. Delicious!

  11. this was excellent! we love sauce so next time I'll double it. Oh and I didn't have parsley, but we don't like that anyhow. Thanks for the great and easy asparagus recipe!

  12. This was delicious! I had it with the Garlic Lover's Roast Beef and this sauce on the roast beef was delightful!

    Thank you!

  14. This is actually REALLY good. Love it!! I usually don't care that much for sodium, but this was really good and the leftovers the next day of it were even better… love it.

    We loved this side dish. So easy too! I usually microwave w/ just enough water to cover the asparagus for 4.5 minutes, and it has the perfect crunch to it.

  16. Just tried this recipe and it was delicious! Initially, I thought the red wine vinegar was too much….but it was PERFECT!! Thank you so much!

  17. Just came across this website and I can't wait to try some of these fabulous recipes! I love finding site with WW point value. Thank you!!

    1. She has awesome recipes!!! I love every one of them that I have tried. And even my husband will eat them and he is a picky eater.
