- 2 tbsp olive oil

- black pepper
- 2 1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp thyme chopped
- white vinegar dash
- 1 1/3 cups lentils cooked
- 4 egg large

- Preheat the oven to 350F. Toss asparagus with 1 tbsp oil, arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer and season with salt and pepper. Roast about 10 minutes until tender.
- Meanwhile make the dressing, in a medium bowl combine the red wine vinegar, Dijon, thyme, and remaining tablespoon oil. Whisk until emulsified. Add lentils and stir to combine. Set aside and let lentils absorb the dressing.
