Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g fresh asparagus
- 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 30 ml red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 1 large hard-boiled egg, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Trim the woody ends of the asparagus. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook the asparagus in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Immediately transfer the cooked asparagus to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the vinaigrette.
Arrange the asparagus on a serving plate. Drizzle the vinaigrette evenly over the asparagus.
Sprinkle the chopped hard-boiled egg and parsley over the top for garnish.
Serve immediately at room temperature or slightly chilled.
