Asparagus and Egg Salad

Ingredients:

  • 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 cups of mixed salad greens
  • 1/4 cup of sliced almonds
  • 1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup of extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Roast for 10-12 minutes, until tender and slightly browned.
  3. Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the eggs and cook for 6-7 minutes for a slightly soft yolk or longer for a firmer yolk.
  4. Remove the eggs from the pot and place them in a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cooled, peel the eggs and cut them in half.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and red wine vinegar to make the dressing.
  6. Arrange the mixed greens on a large platter or individual plates.
  7. Top the greens with the roasted asparagus, sliced almonds, crumbled feta cheese, and halved eggs.
  8. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and serve.
