shaved asparagus salad topped with prosciutto and eggs

Shaved Asparagus Brunch-Style Salad


  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 people 1x

Description

A healthy brunch salad of fresh spring vegetables in a lemon vinaigrette, topped with parmesan, prosciutto, and soft boiled eggs.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound asparagus ((the thicker the spears, the better))
  • 1 fennel bulb (thinly sliced)
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 1 avocado (diced)
  • ½ cup shaved parmesan
  • 8 eggs
  • 6 slices prosciutto (roughly torn)

For the lemon vinaigrette

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 clove of garlic (minced)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the soft boiled eggs: Bring pot of water to a boil over medium high heat (with enough water to cover the eggs). Using a slotted spoon, carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water. Boil for 6 and ½ minutes and then remove from heat, drain and rinse eggs under cold water to cool.
  2. Make the dressing: Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl or jar. Season liberally with salt and pepper.
  3. Shave the asparagus: Hold each asparagus spear a couple inches from the bottom end while on the edge of a cutting board. Use a y-peeler to shave long ribbons from the bottom at your fingers to top and add them to a large bowl. If any tips fall off, that’s ok just add them to the bowl too.
  4. Assemble the salad: Add fennel, arugula, avocado and parmesan to the bowl as well. Drizzle in half of the dressing to start and toss. Add in more dressing as desired.
  5. Peel the cooled eggs. Serve salad with 2 eggs each, cut in half, and several ribbons of prosciutto. Enjoy!
