Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In each of two skillets, bring one and one-half inches of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook, covered, for three to five minutes, according to doneness desired.

  2. Step 2

    Drain the asparagus and refresh it in ice water to stop the cooking. Drain well and place it on a flat dish.

  3. Step 3

    Combine the mustard, salt, pepper and vinegar in a small mixing bowl. Whisk in the olive oil until well combined. Stir in the tarragon.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the mixture over the asparagus, toss to coat and marinate for one-half hour or until ready to serve.

  5. Step 5

    Arrange the flowering kale leaves on a serving platter. Place the asparagus on top and garnish with the tomatoes. Pour any remaining marinade over it.
