  • 1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar

  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

  • ½ teaspoon coarse salt

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 large hard-cooked egg

  • 2 pounds steamed asparagus

Directions

  1. Whisk together vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper. Slowly whisk in olive oil. Push egg through a fine sieve. Spoon vinaigrette over asparagus, and top with grated egg.
