get with your typical ice cream sundae, so it’s perfect for brunch! no one will be able to resist.

2 tablespoons (30 ml) lemon juice
3 tablespoons (45 ml) freshly
squeezed orange juice
1 tablespoon (11 g) dijon mustard
1 tablespoon (20 g) honey
3 tablespoons (45 ml) olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
2 shallots

Bring a large saucepan full of salted water to a boil. Place a large bowl of
ice water nearby. Cut the tough bottom 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) off of
the asparagus stalks and blanch in the boiling water for 2 minutes. Shock in
the cold water until cooled, then drain and pat dry with paper towels. Place
into a serving dish and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon and orange juices, Dijon
mustard, and honey. Drizzle in the olive oil and whisk until thoroughly
blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Slice the shallots into thin
rings, toss them with the dressing, and spoon over the asparagus spears.
