Asparagus with Vin Santo Vinaigrette
Recipe courtesy of Giada De Laurentiis

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups vin santo (about 375 milliliters)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 bunch asparagus, bottom ends trimmed
6 leaves of Bibb lettuce
1 hard boiled egg, sliced
1/4 cup chopped toasted almonds

Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, reduce the vin santo to 1/3 cup,
about 10 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine the reduced vin santo, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk to
combine, making sure the mustard is fully dissolved. While whisking slowly drizzle in the olive
oil.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the asparagus. Cook until just
tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer the asparagus to a bowl filled with ice water and let cool, about
3 minutes. Remove from water and pat dry with paper towels.

Place the lettuce leaves on a serving platter and top with the asparagus, then the slices of hard
boiled egg and chopped almonds. Drizzle the entire platter with the vinaigrette. Serve immediately.
