Ingredients
Asparagus Salad with Creamy Lemon Dressing
- Ingredients
- 18 ozs Asparagus
- 2 Tbsps olive oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 Tbsps white balsamic vinegar
- salt
- freshly ground peppers
- 1 Lettuce
- 4 hardboiled eggs
- 3 ½ ozs Sour cream
- 2 Tbsps Mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsps lemon juice

Peel the bottom third of the asparagus to remove woody ends and then halve the spears. Sauté in a hot frying pan in hot oil around 5-6 minutes. Sprinkle with sugar and let caramelize slightly. Deglaze with the balsamic, season with salt and pepper, take from the heat, and leave to cool to lukewarm.
Clean the lettuce, rinse, spin dry and tear into smaller pieces. Peel the hard-boiled eggs and cut them in half.
For the dressing, mix the sour cream with the mayonnaise, lemon juice and 3-4 tablespoons water, season to taste with salt and pepper.
Arrange the lettuce with asparagus and eggs on plates, drizzle with the dressing and serve sprinkled with chives.

If you want, you can replace the hardboiled eggs with poached eggs for a different texture.
