Steps:
- Snap off and discard the tough bottoms of each asparagus spear. If using large thick asparagus, peel the lower ends with a vegetable peeler. Medium asparagus will not need peeling.
- Bring a medium saucepan half filled with water to a boil, carefully add the eggs and simmer briskly for 9 minutes (10 minutes for a slightly firmer yolk). Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Shell the eggs and set aside.
- Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, place the shallots, vinegar and a pinch of salt. Let shallots soften for 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard to dissolve, then whisk in the olive oil to make a thick dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- In a large stainless-steel soup pot bring 4 quarts of well-salted water to a rolling boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until just done. Remove asparagus with a large strainer and spread out on a baking sheet lined with a clean kitchen towel. Asparagus may be served warm or at room temperature.
- To serve, place asparagus on a platter or individual plates. Spoon the vinaigrette over the asparagus. Garnish with quartered eggs (or roughly chop the eggs if you prefer). Sprinkle with chives.

MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE
A generous spoonful of Dijon mustard makes this vinaigrette creamy and tart. Use the dressing with sturdy salad greens like romaine or with softer lettuces like Bibb lettuce or oak leaf. The dressing is too strong to work with baby salad greens or mesclun. It's also great with cooked vegetables like beets or broccoli and with grain salads.

There are, of course, a number of ways to prepare and serve asparagus, but this method, in which it is paired with a savory vinaigrette, is one of Martha's seasonal favorites.

ASPARAGUS, BEANS & ARUGULA SALAD WITH MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE
Light and healthy. This can be a great starter, nice side salad, toss on some chicken or grilled salmon or scallops and make this a main dish. Perfect for a Holiday meal and is so easy. Store bought bagged greens, a can of cannelloni beans, a simple vinaigrette which is made ahead and uses fresh lightly blanched asparagus. Easy and quick and so healthy. You will spend a little extra for the micro greens, but it is well worth it. I took this on a big platter for a pot luck and topped it with my smoked salmon and the dressing. It was gone in 10 minutes. It really is a nice salad.

Steps:
- Asparagus -- In a small sauce pan, fill with about 1" or a bit less of water and salt and bring to a low boil. Add the asparagus and cook, just 2-3 minutes depending on it's thickness. Then immediately remove and add to a ice bath. Just a bowl of water with ice. This will stop the cooking and keep the asparagus a bright green color (call blanching). Just let them cool off in the ice bath for a minute then remove and let drain and dry.
- Vinaigrette -- Just mix the vinegar, olive oil, mustard, garlic, lemon, sugar, salt, and pepper. I like to use a small tupperware and then I just shake it up. You can also mix it in a small measuring cup or bowl. Whatever is easier for you.
- Salad -- In a small bowl, I like to add the beans (drained and rinsed), asparagus, dill, and just a couple of teaspoons of the vinaigrette (not too much) and toss well.
- Greens -- On your serving platter, I add the arugula, micro greens, onion and a squeeze of one of the lemon wedges and another couple of spoons of the vinaigrette and toss lightly. Then top with the asparagus and bean mixture. Just lightly toss.
- Top the whole thing with the pecorino romano, a sprig of dill and the lemon slices around the side.
- Serve -- Grill some salmon or possibly chicken - slice and top the salad. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the top. This makes an amazing dinner.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Asparagus: Select asparagus spears that are vibrant green, firm, and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp, wilted, or have woody ends.
- Trim the Asparagus Properly: To trim asparagus, snap off the tough, woody ends. You can do this by bending the asparagus spear until it naturally breaks. Alternatively, use a sharp knife to cut off the bottom 1-2 inches of the spear.
- Cook Asparagus Quickly: Asparagus cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked asparagus becomes mushy and loses its flavor. Steaming, roasting, or grilling are all good cooking methods for asparagus.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, chives, and dill add a burst of flavor to asparagus dishes. Chop them finely and sprinkle them over the asparagus before serving.
- Experiment with Different Vinaigrettes: Mustard vinaigrette is a classic dressing for asparagus, but you can also try other vinaigrettes made with different types of vinegar, oil, and herbs. Balsamic vinaigrette, lemon-herb vinaigrette, and honey-Dijon vinaigrette are all delicious options.
Conclusion:
Asparagus with Mustard Vinaigrette is a simple yet elegant dish that showcases the delicate flavor of asparagus.
