Description
Savor a zesty Lemon Dijon asparagus mix with peas in this fresh macaroni salad for a delightful dish that’s perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
8 oz macaroni
1 bunch asparagus (about 1 lb), trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and black pepper to taste
Chopped fresh herbs like parsley or basil (optional)
Feta cheese crumbles (optional)
Cherry tomatoes (optional)
Instructions
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Cook the macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Stir occasionally to keep it from sticking.
When there are about 2 minutes left on the macaroni timer, toss in the asparagus.
In the last minute, add the frozen peas. Once everything is al dente, drain in a colander and run under cold water to stop the cooking process.
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Add the drained macaroni, asparagus, and peas into the bowl with the dressing. Toss well to combine.
For the best flavors, let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
