Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh tarragon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons plus 3/4 tsp. kosher salt, divided
  • 10 cups water
  • 2 boiled and peeled eggs, grated

Instructions

  • Whisk together olive oil, vinegar, tarragon, mustard, pepper, sugar, shallot, and 3/4 teaspoon of the salt.
  • Bring water and remaining 3 tablespoons salt to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high. Remove and discard tough ends of asparagus spears. Place asparagus in boiling water; cook until tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and rinse with cool water; pat dry.
