Asparagus with tomato vinaigrette is a classic dish that combines the flavors of fresh asparagus, sweet tomatoes, and tangy vinaigrette dressing. This combination creates a delicious and healthy meal that can be served as a main course or a side dish. The key to making this dish is to find the perfect balance between the flavors of the asparagus, tomatoes, and vinaigrette. The asparagus should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, the tomatoes should be ripe and juicy, and the vinaigrette should be flavorful but not overpowering. With the right ingredients and a little bit of effort, you can make a delicious and memorable asparagus with tomato vinaigrette.

WARM ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH TOMATOES

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.

ASPARAGUS WITH TOMATOES
This is a delicious way to take advantage of early spring's flavorful asparagus. A great dish to accompany large, busy meals, as most of the work can be done ahead of time and the asparagus reheated with the tomatoes and garlic at the last minute while the roast (or whatever else) is resting. Also a delicious preparation for green beans in place of the asparagus.

- Serve the asparagus warm or at room temperature.
- You can also grill the asparagus instead of roasting it.
- If you are using a grill pan, make sure it is preheated before adding the asparagus.
