ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH SOY-MUSTARD DRESSING
There are real differences between skinny and fat asparagus spears, aside from appearance, and it's worth attending to them. With either, you must first break off the woody bottoms (magically, they snap off in pretty much the right place every time), a quick but necessary chore. But it is always worth peeling thick asparagus, from stem to the bottom of the flower bud. The best way to do this is with a vegetable peeler. Lay each spear on a flat surface and give it a few quick strokes. The difference between peeled and unpeeled thick spears is substantial. When they are peeled, they can be cooked for considerably less time, leaving them bright green and perfectly crisp-tender, rather than a soggy mess. They're done when you can easily insert a skewer or a thin-bladed knife into the thickest part of the stalk. (If you don't peel them, the soggy mess is just about the only way to get the skin tender.)

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook asparagus just until bright green but tender, up to 4 or 5 minutes for thicker spears. Drain and immediately rinse with cold water (or, better still, plunge into ice water). Drain again and set aside. (You can wrap asparagus and refrigerate for up to a day at this point. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
- Whisk together mustard, egg yolks, soy sauce, lemon juice and just enough olive oil (start with a tablespoon) to make a smooth dressing. Toss with asparagus and serve.

PRESSED LEEK, ASPARAGUS, AND ZUCCHINI TERRINE WITH MUSTARD-LEMON DRESSING
Yield serves 6. serving size: 1 1/2 slices.
Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- Oil the sides and bottom of a 5 × 9-inch loaf pan and set aside together with an unoiled loaf pan the same size.
- Trim the root ends and tops from the leeks (save 10 tender green inner leaves from the tops), leaving about 1 inch of dark green leaves.
- Cut the leeks in half lengthwise and rinse under running water, gently separating the layers to remove dirt. Rinse the reserved inner leaves and set the leeks aside.
- In a 4- to 5-quart pan, bring the tarragon, salt, and stock to a boil over high heat.
- Add all the leeks, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until tender when pierced, about 15 minutes. Remove the leeks from the pan and drain, reserving the cooking water.
- Add the zucchini and asparagus to the pan and let boil for 4 minutes. Remove and drain.
- Layer the vegetables in the prepared loaf pan, beginning with the leeks, until all the vegetables are in.
- Set the other loaf pan on top of the vegetables and fill with 4 pounds of weight to weigh them down. Canned goods or dried beans work best.
- Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 2 days to firm.
- Prepare the dressing: In a blender, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, pepper, and salt. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- When ready to serve the vegetables, remove from the refrigerator and pour off any liquid that has accumulated. Remove the weighted pan, and with a very sharp knife, gently cut the loaf crosswise into 10 slices.
- Using two spatulas, lift out the slices to a platter or individual salad plates. (Though more difficult to slice, the terrine is handsome inverted onto a platter. Cut carefully.) Top with the dressing and season with salt.
ASPARAGUS WITH MUSTARD SEED DRESSING
I think this is based on a Cooking Light recipe, but I can't remember! A very easy side dish for a dinner party or brunch! Note: DH and I both really like this dish, so the serving size is big! Update 12/31/2011: I finally found the original recipe from Cooking Light. The original sauce was: 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon mustard seeds

Steps:
- Snap off and discard the tough bottoms of each asparagus spear. If using large thick asparagus, peel the lower ends with a vegetable peeler. Medium asparagus will not need peeling.
- Bring a medium saucepan half filled with water to a boil, carefully add the eggs and simmer briskly for 9 minutes (10 minutes for a slightly firmer yolk). Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Shell the eggs and set aside.
- Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, place the shallots, vinegar and a pinch of salt. Let shallots soften for 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard to dissolve, then whisk in the olive oil to make a thick dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- In a large stainless-steel soup pot bring 4 quarts of well-salted water to a rolling boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until just done. Remove asparagus with a large strainer and spread out on a baking sheet lined with a clean kitchen towel. Asparagus may be served warm or at room temperature.
- To serve, place asparagus on a platter or individual plates. Spoon the vinaigrette over the asparagus. Garnish with quartered eggs (or roughly chop the eggs if you prefer). Sprinkle with chives.
