📝 Preparation Steps
1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and set a bowl of ice water nearby. Blanch the asparagus for about ⏱️ 1 minute, or until tender but still bright green. Transfer to the ice water for ⏱️ 1 minute, then drain. Allow the asparagus to dry and transfer it back to the bowl and add the peas.
2
Make the dressing: In a food processor, pulse together the basil, garlic, lemon juice and zest, vinegar, olive oil, and salt. Season to taste, adding more oil as desired.
