Asparagus with Honey Mustard

Makes 6 Servings

Ingredients:

2 pounds asparagus
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive or vegetable oil

Directions:

1. Snap off tough ends of asparagus spears.

2. Heat 1 inch water (salted if desired) to boiling in 12-inch skillet. Add asparagus. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 8 to 12 minutes or until stalk ends are crisp-tender; drain.

3. Shake remaining ingredients in tightly covered container. Drizzle over asparagus.

Success Hint: Measure oil before honey to grease your tablespoon. You'll be sure to get every last drop of honey!

Variation: Remember this simple sauce. It also flavors carrots, broccoli and cauliflower.
