I had some extra dill in the fridge so decided to make a vinaigrette for some asparagus: Roasted lemony asparagus with a saffron dill vinaigrette. Honestly this vinaigrette would be great on most any veggie, or even chicken/fish. It’s a good healthy side option and very easy to put together. Hope you give it a try!
Here’s how to make it:

Roasted Lemony Asparagus with a Saffron Dill Vinaigrette

For the vinaigrette:
- A handful of fresh dill, roughly chopped
- 1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
