Asparagus Bacon and Egg Salad with Dijon Vinaigrette

Asparagus Bacon and Egg Salad with Dijon Vinaigrette is  a fresh, light alternative to a traditional salad.  Serve it alongside your favorite grilled meat.

When I look back at my posts this summer there is one thing that kind of stands out to me. I have been on a salad roll!  There has been Beet Salad, Cucumber Salad, Succotash Salad.   This Asparagus Salad is going to make it on the list too!!

ASPARAGUS BACON AND EGG SALAD

I decided to change up one of my favorite veggies this week and make something totally different….an asparagus salad with hard boiled egg and some yummy bacon!  Then simply mixed up a dijon vinaigrette to drizzle over the top.

I have been using chicken bacon lately and think it is a great substitution. It fits into my daily macro count a little better with less fat.

I have a newfound love of dijon mustard.  It has never been my go-to for some reason. I’ve always been a yellow mustard kind of gal.  But this Summer I have fallen hard!  Making a vinaigrette is super easy and goes perfection with this salad.

INGREDIENTS

1 bunch of asparagus, stalks cut into thirds

1 hard boiled egg, peeled and sliced

2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

DIRECTIONS

Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the asparagus and cook 2 to 3 minutes (until tender but firm.)

Drain and immediately rinse with cold water to any further cooking.

In a small bowl, mix the Dijon, oil and vinegar.

Place the asparagus on a plate, top with egg and bacon and drizzle with the vinaigrette.

ENJOY!!
