Roasted Asparagus Salad Recipe

I love this salad. I love this salad. I love this salad.

Should I say it one more time? I think so.

I love this salad.

All in all, this can be made in about 20 minutes (as long as you get the egg and the asparagus going at the same time), perfect for lunch if you are near a kitchen. Or you can make it ahead and assemble just before eating. Either way, it’s delish and can be eaten warm or cold.

But what about the flavor? The fresh asparagus, roasted until ever so slightly sweet and tender, is fantastic with the creamy egg and salty feta. And the drizzle of Caesar makes the whole thing magical.

You could double the dressing if you really want to, but I prefer to keep the dressing light.

So, where do you start? Make the egg.

Your method of boiling an egg sounds like a good way to poach them to me. If you add eggs to boiling water, they crack.

I've had great results with bringing the eggs to a boil in the water. As soon as the water starts to boil, turn off the heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 3 min. for soft eggs, 7 for medium & 20 for hard. The eggs reliably turn out soft, without green rings.

Asparagus is yummy! I'd try your recipe, but they're already out of season in California. .-= Dawn´s last blog ..Want the birds to nest in your garden? =-.

Dawn, interesting! This is the way I've always made them and I've never had one crack in the process ... well, unless I dropped it.

I have never thought of using the Caesar salad dressing over asparagus. It has to be good!
