Salad of Fried Eggs and Asparagus Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 6 eggs
  • 1 bunch of asparagus, woody ends removed and cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 6 cups mixed greens
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper to make the dressing.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender. Remove and set aside.
  3. Lower the heat to medium and crack the eggs into the skillet. Cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, toss together mixed greens, cooked asparagus, sliced almonds, and crumbled feta. Add the prepared dressing and toss again until the salad is evenly coated.
  5. Divide the salad among 6 plates and top each with a fried egg. Serve immediately.

The almond slices add a nice crunch, while the dressing ties all the flavors together. This salad is perfect for a light lunch or dinner.

Serving Suggestions:

If you want to bulk up the salad, you can add additional veggies such as sliced cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, or avocado. You can also replace the mixed greens with spinach or kale for a heartier salad. Serve with a slice of crusty bread or a side of garlic bread for a complete meal.
