Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette

  • Zest of 1 Meyer lemon, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh Meyer lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 tablespoons light olive oil

Combine everything but the oil in a small bowl. Then drizzle the oil in and whisk. Whisk in a little mustard if you’re using ordinary lemons. Makes about 1/2 cup

  1. Prepare the charcoal grill.
  2. Brush the asparagus lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill over a medium-hot fire for about 5 minutes, turning the asparagus until the skin is slightly charred and the spears tender.
  3. Wash the watercress, dry it in a spinner, and arrange it on a platter. Place the grilled asparagus on the watercress; drizzle with vinaigrette.
