Asparagus with Mushroom Dressing

This is a great make-ahead side dish. You can also halve the recipe for a delicious salad course. If asparagus is unavailable, steamed broccoli makes a nice substitute.

3 pounds asparagus, bottoms trimmed

1/2 pound mushrooms, thinly sliced

3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/2 cup whipping cream

2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard

1/3 cup olive oil

l teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon, or 1/2 teaspoon dried

Cook asparagus in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Pat asparagus dry. (Can be prepared ahead. Wrap in paper towels and store in plastic bag. Refrigerate.) Toss mushrooms with lemon juice in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Whisk cream and mustard in small bowl to blend; gradually whisk in oil. Let mushroom mixture and dressing stand 30 minutes or cover and refrigerate up to 2 hours. Arrange asparagus on platter. Whisk tarragon into dressing. Drain mushrooms well and return to bowl. Mix in dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon mushroom dressing over asparagus and serve.

  Excellent- " Excellent product at a quite reasonable price - I could not find these items locally, even in the "gourmet" stores. Impressed with the shipping (fast and well packed) and the follow up as well." William E., Sausalito, CA.
