The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • ½ pounds asparagus (trimmed & cut into 1-inch pieces, stalks & tips separated)
  • 2 ½ cups diced cooked chicken breast
  • 2/3 cup chopped tomato
  • 4 leaves basil (thinly sliced)

  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons minced shallots
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoons ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instruction

  • Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Prepare a bowl filled with ice water.
