I saw this photo on Pinterest and knew I needed to try this combination. What I was most interested in was putting these three items together. Could it possibly look this pretty? Yes and as it turns out, these three are awesome together!
Note: I didn't follow the inspiration recipe to the letter. I don't bother tossing the veggies in ice water after steaming. They still retain their bright color just fine. I also don't bother sautéing an onion to add on top. I usually have onions in another recipe at the same meal.
Boil or Steam 5 to 7 minutes or until asparagus and green beans are tender.
- thin asparagus, cut into thirds at an angle
- green beans (haricots verts in case you want to act fancy), trimmed
- fresh or frozen (thawed) peas
Vinaigrette - In small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, chives, sesame seeds, syrup, garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil. To serve, toss vegetables with onions and vinaigrette.
- lemon juice
- fresh chives
- sesame seeds
- maple syrup

| Full length green beans and asparagus would have been prettier, especially if making this dish for a special occasion. It didn't matter. It was still delicious and pretty - prettier than in my photo! |
