1. Steam the asparagus over simmering water for 2 minutes, or until tender but crisp and bright green in color. Alternatively, the asparagus can be dropped into boiling water and simmered for 2 minutes. Immediately transfer the asparagus to a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain.
2. Arrange the asparagus decoratively on a large platter. Drizzle with the Walnut Vinaigrette, then sprinkle the asparagus with the chopped egg and the chervil.
