1 and 1/2 lbs (750 g)

1/2 cup (125 mL)
2 tbsp (30 mL)
1 tbsp (15 mL)

2
3 tbsp (45 mL)
large Asparagus, trimmed and rinsed
Salt, as needed
mayonnaise
olive oil
fresh lime juice
large clove garlic, finely chopped
hard-cooked eggs, roughly chopped
thinly sliced green onion
Put asparagus into a large skillet of salted, boiling water. Boil gently until slightly underdone, about 3 minutes, depending on thickness. Drain well and spread on paper towel to cool.

Meanwhile, to make aioli, mix mayonnaise with olive oil, lime juice, and garlic. Set aside.

Over a piece of wax paper or paper towel, using the back of a wooden spoon force boiled eggs through a coarse sieve, making sure to scrape off the egg that clings to the underside of the sieve.

Arrange asparagus on a platter, then drizzle with the aioli. Sprinkle with egg, then green onion. Lightly season with salt and serve.
