Step 1
Boil eggs in a pot of water over high heat; once boiling, cook for 8 minutes for jammy yolks. Drain and cool in ice water.
Step 2
Trim woody ends from asparagus and cut into 2-inch pieces. Blanch in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
Step 3
Drain asparagus and immediately plunge into ice water to stop cooking. Drain well and pat dry.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir in finely chopped parsley to make a herb relish.
Step 5
Peel and halve the boiled eggs. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
Step 6
Arrange asparagus on a platter, top with tomatoes and eggs. Drizzle with herb relish and serve.
Step 7
Optional: add a pinch of cumin or paprika to the relish for extra warmth.
