Preparation

Wash the green asparagus, cut off the lower ends of the stalks and cook the spears for about 4 minutes in salted boiling water. Plunge them into iced water to keep their intense green colour.
Peel the white asparagus and remove the ends. Cook for 10 minutes in the same water used for the green asparagus; remove while they are still slightly crunchy.
Chop the cooked asparagus.
Wash the cherry tomatoes and spring onions, and slice into rounds.
For the sauce, mix the oil, vinegar and mustard. Season with salt and pepper.
Mix everything with the sauce and serve with the asparagus tips pointing upwards.
