Ingredients
-
1 pound asparagus, washed, trimmed, and cut diagonally into 3-inch lengths
-
3 tablespoons butter
-
½ cup Diamond Sliced Almonds
-
6 green onions, cut into 3-inch lengths and julienned (about ¾ cup)
-
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
-
½ teaspoon salt

Directions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add asparagus and cook until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain in a colander. Arrange on a serving platter; keep warm. In a large frying pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add almonds and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add green onions, lemon zest, salt, and pepper; heat through. Add the lemon juice; cook for 1 minute. Pour almond-onion mixture over asparagus. Serve immediately.
