Main Ingredient Asparagus
Other Ingredient Sugar Snap Peas
Number of People 8
List of Ingredients 1 lb. asparagus, trimmed

3/4 lb. sugar snap peas

1 lb. assorted small new potatoes

1 T tarragon or white wine vinegar

2 tsp. Dijon mustard

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

3 T finely chopped shallot

1/2 cup torn mixed herbs (such as cilantro, basil, tarragon, chervil and chives)
Description Bring a 4-quart pot of water to a boil; add salt.  Add asparagus and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes.  Transfer asparagus to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking.  Return water in pot to a boil, add peas and cook until just tender, about one minute.  Drain in a colander, then transfer to bowl of ice and cold water; let cool one minute.  Drain vegetables and cut diagonally crosswise into 2-inch pieces.



Place potatoes in pot, cover with cold water by 2 inches and bring to a boil over moderately high heat; add salt.  Simmer until potatoes are fork tender but not falling apart, about 15 minutes (depending on size); drain in colander.  Cool under cold running water until potatoes are just warm; halve.



Whisk together vinegar and mustard in a large serving bowl; add oil in a slow stream, whisking until thickened and emulsified.  Whisk in shallot; salt and pepper to taste.  Add asparagus, peas, potaotes and 3/4 of herbs, tossing gently to coat with dressing.  Sprinkle with remaining herbs.
