Salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper
1 hard cooked egg, diced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1 Trim off the base of the asparagus at the point where the stem turns from white to green. Bring about 2 inches of water to a boil in a large skillet. Add the asparagus and salt to taste. Cook until the asparagus bend slightly when you lift them from the stem end, 4 to 8 minutes. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the asparagus. Remove the asparagus with tongs. Drain them on paper towels and pat them dry.
2 In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in the egg, parsley, and capers.
3 Place the asparagus on a serving platter and spoon on the sauce. Serve immediately.
