Asparagus with Tarragon Sherry Vinaigrette

This elegant asparagus with tarragon sherry vinaigrette is a celebration of seasonal flavours. By lightly steaming the spears and then refreshing them in ice water, you maintain a crisp texture and a beautiful bright green hue that looks stunning on the plate. The herbaceous notes of fresh tarragon paired with the subtle acidity of sherry vinegar create a sophisticated dressing that perfectly complements the earthy sweetness of the vegetable.

As a light vegetarian starter or a refined side dish, this recipe is as versatile as it is simple to prepare. The addition of sieved hard-boiled egg provides a classic French-style finish, adding a delicate richness and attractive texture to the dish. Serve it at room temperature as part of a spring lunch or alongside grilled fish for a healthy, flavourful evening meal.

Steam asparagus on a steamer rack set over boiling water, covered, until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes (depending on thickness), then transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels.

Whisk together vinegar, shallot, mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. Whisk in tarragon.
