This roasted asparagus with parmesan truffle vinaigrette recipe is an inventive remake of traditional hollandaise sauce. Once that is inspired by Caesar salad dressing \u2013 complete with one tiny anchovy and parmesan cheese. Both which give it it\u2019s pure umami deliciousness. Together with a drizzle of truffle oil, this asparagus recipe is one to be savoured, making it perfect for Mothers Day, a special brunch, or a side for a special dinner!<\/p>\n

Using truffle oil<\/h2>\n

Of course, not everyone is a fan of truffles or truffle oil for that matter \u2014 it\u2019s one of those love it or leave it flavours. I simply love it! I think it gives dishes an extra magical ooph of deliciousness. Whether drizzled on salads (like my zucchini salad<\/a> \u2014 which is sooo delicious), on pizza, pasta or even potatoes. In this vinaigrette, truffle oil is combined with a delicate tasting olive oil which gives the sauce just the right amount of subtle truffle flavor.<\/p>\n

\nWhite versus black truffle oil<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re new to truffle oil, it\u2019s worthwhile knowing that there are two types: white and black. White is more delicate, and has a more refined taste. Black is stronger, but not as complex. Personally I like black truffles the best, so almost always choose a black truffle oil<\/a>. When buying it, check the ingredients to make sure it is made from high-quality olive oil infused with pieces of truffles.<\/p>\n

What I love about this Parmesan Truffle Vinaigrette<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s not just the parmesan and truffle that make this dressing so special. There is also a Dijon mustard, which adds a bit of creaminess and a tiny bit of punch. Also a key element in a classic Caesar salad dressing, just like the egg yolk. Which by the way, gives the dressing it\u2019s richness (as it does in a classic hollandaise sauce) and then there is the anchovy which provides a briny blast (and loads of umami). Both very key to this sauce. As are the lemon juice for acidity and garlic for extra flavor All elements that create a well rounded, and simply delicious asparagus dressing.<\/p>\n

\nHow to Roast Asparagus<\/h2>\n

Roasting asparagus brings out its best flavor! Especially white asparagus. Plus it\u2019s super easy. Simply toss the trimmed and peeled white asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (for easy clean-up), careful not crowd and in the oven they go.<\/p>\n

Roast on the middle oven rack for 15 minutes, then turn over the spears and roast for another 10-15 minutes, until the asparagus has reached the desired tenderness. It\u2019s that easy! And super delicious!<\/p>\n
