Recipe by Molly Chester The key to this simple salad is slicing the raw asparagus thinly, so it takes on the flavor of the lemony marinade.

Ingredients

1/3 c. lemon juice
1/3 c. chopped scallions
1 can anchovy fillets
2 clove garlic
3/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil
kosher salt
Pepper
1 lb. asparagus
4 large eggs
2 c. mixed cherry tomatoes

Instructions

In a blender, combine the lemon juice with the scallions, anchovies and garlic and purée until nearly smooth. With the machine on, gradually add the olive oil until emulsified. Season the dressing with salt and pepper. Transfer one third of the dressing to a serving bowl and toss with the asparagus. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, cover the eggs with water and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover, and let stand for 10 minutes. Drain and cool the eggs under cold running water. Peel the eggs and pat dry, then quarter lengthwise and season with salt and pepper.
Fold the tomatoes into the asparagus; season with salt and pepper. Arrange the eggs on top and serve, passing the remaining dressing at the table. Looking for vegetable recipes? Try our best asparagus recipes, eggplant recipes, or zucchini recipes.
