Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and blanch for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Drain again and pat dry.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper.
Slowly whisk in olive oil until the vinaigrette is emulsified.
Place asparagus in a serving bowl and drizzle with the lemon vinaigrette. Toss gently to coat.
Sprinkle toasted almonds and Parmesan cheese over the salad just before serving.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, add halved cherry tomatoes or fresh herbs like basil or mint.
