A very classy company dish but it easy for any meal. I can eat it as a
meal in itself.

ASPARAGUS SALAD

30 medium asparagus spears.

2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1/2tsp salt, fresh ground peper

½ tsp sugar

3 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1/2c olive oil

2 tbsp minced parsley, 1 tbsp minced shallot

2 large heads Bibb lettuce, 1 hard boiled egg

minced parsley for garnish

Prepare and cook asparagus, drain and pat dry on paper towel.

Dressing:

Combine mustard, salt, pepper, sugar & vinegar. Add olive oil in a steady
stream, whisking until well combined. Pour dressing in a bowl, add parsley,
shallot and asparagus and toss.

Arrange lettuce on plates, asparagus on top. Sprinkle with egg yolk and
minced parsley.

sounds great and we have fresh asparagus coming in right now! I may make
this tomoroow.... but on my Mac, the amount of sugar didn't come through.
What is it, please?

(I planted asparagus last summer, but didn't harvest any of ours this year as
it really shot up while we were both so sick with the stomach crud! Luckily,
much is grown in this area and we're still getting it farm-fresh.)

1/2 tsp of sugar (low amount so that is good - right?)

Asparagus is one of the things I am planting at the new house - that,
rhubarb and raspberries. Always better fresh even though there is a good
asparagus farm close by the new house.

Enjoy - I am making it again Thursday night.
