When buying asparagus, look for firm, bright green spears with tightly closed tips.

Serves 4

Snap off tough ends of asparagus and steam until crisp-tender - about 5 minutes. Drain and cool completely, cut into 2-inch pieces and set aside. Wash potatoes and steam until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain cool completely. Mix asparagus, potatoes, sliced hard-boiled eggs and diced onion together. In separate bowl mix remaining ingredients. Pour dressing over vegetable mixture and combine well (use less dressing if you don't need all of it). Cover and refrigerate for at least a couple of hours. Serve chilled on lettuce lined plates.
