Ingredients
For the salad:
- 1 bunch asparagus, tough ends trimmed
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 or 3 hard boiled eggs, peeled
- 1 large avocado, diced
- 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
- Chives, chopped, for garnish, optional
For the dressing:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 small clove garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon honey
- kosher salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the asparagus on a large baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, then toss until well coated. Spread the asparagus in a single layer and season with salt and pepper. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 12 to 15 minutes or until tender, but still crisp. Don’t overcook.
- While the asparagus is roasting, make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, and honey. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the asparagus to a platter. Drizzle with a little dressing.
- Use a microplane to grate the hard-boiled eggs over the asparagus. Top with diced avocado, Parmesan cheese, and chopped pistachios. Drizzle with a little more dressing and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Garnish with chives, if using. Serve immediately.
