Can you believe that it’s here?! Day #12 is filled with 12 drummers drumming. Ok, there are really no drummers drumming unless you want to insert your own drum roll at the end of this post before you see what today’s giveaway is. It’s worth over $150! I do want to remind everyone that the giveaways posted this week are still going on through next week so be sure to go back and enter to win some fun foodie gifts.

Today I’m introducing you to International Collection oils. International Collection offers seed and nut oils, dipping and flavored oils, as well as a selection of special oils. I received a sampling of their oils and was so overwhelmed by the flavors that it was hard to choose just one to cook with. The walnut oil jumped out at me and so I ran with it.

Whisk together the vinegar, shallot, mustard, salt & pepper in a bowl. Continue to whisk the dressing and slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil. Now whisk in the walnut oil.

Plate the asparagus and drizzle the dressing over the top. Garnish with parsley and the walnuts and season with additional salt & pepper if needed. Serve immediately and joy!
