Fill a large pot with water. Bring the water to a boil and add the beans and asparagus. Once the water comes to a boil again, lower heat and simmer for about 4 minutes or until tender but still crisp. Drain in a colander and refresh under cold water. Let cool completely.
Prepare vinaigrette. Whisk together mustard, balsamic vinegar and olive oil until smooth. Season to taste.
When the beans and asparagus are cold, chop them and transfer them into a salad bowl or individual plates. Sprinkle with shallot and chives, drizzle with vinaigrette and top with hard-boiled eggs.
