ASPARAGUS VINAIGRETTE



Asparagus Vinaigrette image

Asparagus is at its flavorful best for only a short time, usually between March and May, when you'll want to avail yourself of its abundance. There are, of course, a number of ways to prepare and serve asparagus, but this method, in which it is paired with a savory vinaigrette, is one of Martha's seasonal favorites.

GRILLED ASPARAGUS WITH CAPER-CORNICHON VINAIGRETTE



Grilled Asparagus with Caper-Cornichon Vinaigrette image

Inspired by gribiche, the French sauce traditionally served with steamed asparagus, this salad takes a modern approach by grilling the spears then piling them on a platter with sliced hard-cooked eggs. The mustard vinaigrette, chock-full of cornichons and capers, preserves all the briny goodness of the original sauce.
