Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 5 ounces Asparagus (green or white)
  • 5 ounces Tuna (about 1 can drained)
  • 2 piece Tomato (quartered)
  • 2 piece Boiled Eggs (quartered)
  • Microgreens (optional, *see Notes)
  • 1/8 cup Lemon Juice
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/8 Teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 2 Teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • 4 Tablespoon Olive Oil (extra virgin)

Instruction

  • Bring some water to boil and place your eggs into the boiling water. Boil for about 6-8 minutes covered or until hard boiled with a yellow yolk in the center. Take through cold water once boiled to stop the cooking process instantly. Peel and keep aside.
  • Rinse your fresh ingredients and keep the quartered tomato and microgreens ready at the side.
  • Trim the fibrous ends off your asparagus. If you use white asparagus, peel as well. Chopp your asparagus into 2 inch long pieces.
  • Keep a pot to boil with water and place your asparagus into the water for about 1-3 minutes. 1 minute for young and thin Asparagus and 3 for very thick spears. The Asparagus will get blanched, which means it will just cook enough to remain crunchy. Keep a bowl with ice water ready and place your blanched asparagus into the ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Assemble all the salad ingredients, including asparagus, tomato, boiled egg, tuna chunks, and the microgreens and keep in the fridge to cool a bit.
  • Prepare your vinaigrette dressing by mixing together the vinegar, salt and pepper, and dijon mustard. Then add the olive oil and mix or shake into a smooth dressing.
  • Pour the dressing just before serving time over the salad.
