Spring is one of my favorite times of year. I love the colors and warmer weather, and I love all of the beautiful fresh ingredients. One of my favorite springtime vegetables is asparagus. This Elegant Asparagus Mimosa Salad is a celebration of the season’s harvest.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat.
Add the asparagus and cook 2-3 minutes until it turns bright green.
Transfer the blanched asparagus to cold water to stop the cooking. Drain immediately and dry off.
Add all of the ingredients for the vinaigrette to a jar. Shake vigorously to combine.
Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Chop the egg whites. Using a fork gently crush the yolks to break them up.
To assemble your salad lay your asparagus out on a plate.
Top with the egg yolks and whites.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the top.
Garnish with fresh herbs.
