Tasting for salt before serving is key to all recipes but especially so here because the asparagus can soak up the seasoning. Be aware that the salt will leach water from the asparagus, so don’t dress more than 30 minutes before serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch thick asparagus (1 lb | 455 g)
  • 1

Method

With a sharp knife, vegetable peeler, or mandoline, shave the asparagus and radishes as thinly as possible. For the asparagus, cut either on an acute diagonal or in ribbons down the length of the stalk.

Pass the hard-boiled eggs through a fine-mesh sieve or finely chop with a knife.

Finely dice or thinly shave the shallot.
