Instructions

1. First I cook the peeled asparagus in water as usual. I taste the cooking water for the asparagus with sugar, salt and a mild vinegar and add a really small piece of butter to the cooking water. While the asparagus is cooking, I prepare the ingredients.
2. I dice the eggs, tomatoes and onions, chop the herbs and put everything aside.
3. I make a vinaigrette from vinegar, a pinch of sugar and the oil and season it with salt, pepper and lemon juice. I add herbs, tomatoes and onions and stir only lightly.
4. I put the cooked asparagus on a large platter. With a slotted spoon I put the tomato and herb mixture on the asparagus and only now the chopped eggs. I pour in a little bit of the stock of the vinaigrette.
5. The salad has to steep for at least 1/4 hour and is eaten lukewarm. Do not cover or the tomatoes will be mushy!
6. It goes well with fresh potatoes, a light white wine and smoked salmon.
