Asparagus With Vinaigrette Recipe

1/2 lb fresh or frozen asparagus 1/2 cup red wine vinegar 1/2 tsp dried tarragon = (or 1 tspn fresh tarragon) 2 tbsp fresh chives 3 tbsp fresh chopped parsley 1/2 cup water 1 tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp Dijon mustard 1 lb fresh spinach leaves, trimmed of stems, washed and dried 2 large tomatoes, cut into wedges

To serve, line plates with spinach leaves, and place asparagus on top of spinach. Garnish with tomato wedges, and spoon any remaining dressing on top.

| "Americans, more than any other culture on earth, are cookbook cooks; we learn to make our meals not from any oral tradition, but from a text. The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’." | | ~ John Thorne, American food writer |
