White beans paired with asparagus make a light, fresh meal for springtime. It's the perfect way to celebrate the final notes of winter. And you'll love how quickly it comes together, as all you need is 20 minutes to put it on the table. The vinaigrette can be made in minutes thanks to using the food processor, and you'll like it so much, you'll find yourself making a batch and storing it in the fridge for whenever you need it. It features the aforementioned white beans (yep!), olive oil, Dijon mustard, red-wine vinegar, tarragon, and parsley. Sprinkle with red pepper and chopped hard-boiled eggs right before serving for even more flavor and texture.
