If there's a salad worth enjoying with a glass of champagne, it's this one.

And if a candlelit dinner isn't your thing, this salad makes for a bring-to-work lunch that you'll be looking forward to all morning.

Directions

To make the vinaigrette:

Step 1

In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring wine to a simmer and let cook until reduced to 1/4 cup.

Step 2

While wine reduces, melt butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add black truffle slices and shallots, and sauté for 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

Once wine has reduced, add it to a small mixing bowl along with the remaining vinaigrette ingredients, including the sautéed truffles and shallots. Gently whisk to combine, then taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper if desired.

To make the salad:

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add peeled asparagues stalks and let cook for 1-2 minutes, or until just slightly tender. Strain immediately and place in an ice bath or in a colander under cold running water. Once stalks are cool, slice on a bias and set aside.

Step 2

In a large sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil on medium-high. Add morels and asparagus and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove pan from heat, add 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3

In mixing bowl, lightly dress baby greens with remaining vinaigrette and toss to coat.

Step 4

Divide dressed greens among four plates, then top each with asparagus and morel mixture and sliced eggs. Garnish with chives and serve. Alternatively, divide salad among four containers and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
