Directions
- Trim asparagus of woody ends. Bring water, dry white wine, and salt to a boil in a shallow saucepan. Add asparagus and boil for three to four minutes (do not overcook). Remove asparagus from hot water and set aside.
- Peel hard-boiled eggs and slice in half. Remove yolks to a bowl and break up roughly with a fork. Finely chop cooked egg whites. Set aside.
- In a food processor, blend raw egg yolk with vinegar, lemon, and Dijon until smooth. Slowly add oil while blending until emulsified.
