Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound medium-size asparagus
6 hard-cooked eggs, coarsely chopped

Add the asparagus tips and cook until they are just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold running water, and drain again. Pat the tips dry and set them aside. 3. Place the chopped eggs in a bowl and season them lightly with salt and pepper. Toss with the dill. 4. Combine the mustard and the mayo in a small bowl, and fold this mixture into the eggs. Then gently fold in the asparagus tips. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving.
