Serves: 6

3 pounds fresh green asparagus

Peel and trim the asparagus. Boil 4 quarts of water in a pot. Cook asparagus in boiling water for 5 to 7 minutes, until just tender. Gently remove asparagus from boiling water and cool in ice cold water. Drain on paper towels, and set aside.
Separate the egg yolks and the whites.
Wash egg whites in cold water. Drain on paper towel and set aside. Finely chop egg yolks; set aside in a small bowl.
Chop egg whites and save in a bowl. Arrange asparagus on a serving platter.
Sprinkle egg yolk and egg white and parsley over asparagus. Serve cold with the herb-vinaigrette.
