INGREDIENTS

1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp bacon fat
1 garlic clove, minced
1 pinch sea salt
1 pinch red chili flakes
1 lb green asparagus, ends trimmed
4 large, hard-boiled eggs, peeled and halved
2 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
3 oz. bacon, cooked crisp and chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Trim the asparagus and cut it into 1 to 2″ (3-5 cm) pieces.
Heat a large saucepan of salted water till it boils. After the water reaches a vigorous boil, add the asparagus and let it boil for three to four minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the asparagus from the boiling water and place in an ice bath to stop the cooking process and preserve the color.
2. Add the oil, vinegar, mustard, bacon grease, garlic, salt, and pepper flakes together in a small bowl. Whisk until combined.
3. Arrange the asparagus on a sizable serving platter. After that, place the hard-boiled eggs and sprinkle with bacon. Pour some vinaigrette over it. Serve any leftover vinaigrette on the side.
