Asparagus with Eggs Mimosa

3 large eggs

2 lbs asparagus, trimmed

1 lemon

3 TBSP EVOO

2 TBSP apple cider vinegar

1 TBSP snipped fresh chives

Kosher salt and pepper

1. Place eggs in small saucepan and add enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cover and let stand 11 minutes. Rinse eggs under cold water to cool them, then peel. Eggs may be hard boiled and refrigerated up to 3 days ahead.

3. Grate ¼ tsp zest from lemon and set aside. Squeeze 1 TBSP juice into small bowl. Add oil, vinegar, chives and ½ tsp each salt and pepper and whisk to combine.
4. Arrange asparagus on serving platter. Drizzle with vinaigrette. Coarsely grate hard-boiled eggs over asparagus and sprinkle with reserved lemon zest.
