Asparagus Salad
Tools Used: Perforated Baking Sheet, Flexiflat, Colander Scoop, FRENCH PANTRY Herbs de Provence Mustard, Heat Resistant Spatula, Santoku Chef Knife
Ingredients
2 large hard boiled eggs, peeled and sliced
1 bunch chopped asparagus
4 slices cooked bacon, cut into pieces
1 teaspoon FRENCH PANTRY Herbs de Provence Mustard
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the asparagus and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until tender yet firm. Using the Colander Scoop, remove the asparagus and transfer into a bowl of cold water with ice cubes to stop it from cooking further. Let set a few minutes, and then remove the asparagus and drain on paper towels.
In a small bowl mix the mustard, oil, vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Arrange the asparagus on a plate, top with eggs and bacon and drizzle with the vinaigrette.
* I love making this fast and easy salad recipe. It can be a light meal, or add grilled chicken for a more complete meal. This recipe can be easily doubled for more servings.
* bon Tip- Parboiling is the partial or semi boiling of food as the first step in cooking. You can also parboil vegetables and freeze them to use at a later time in thingslike soups or casseroles. It can be a great way to prep meals in advance.
