Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 30 min.

Prepare the asparagus.

When cooked, drain and cut into lengths on the diagonal (like penne pasta), as shown in the photo.

Stage 2 - 1 min.

Leave the asparagus on a cloth.

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Cut 6 slices bread into small cubes (you can remove the crust if you wish).

Stage 4 - 5 min.

Melt 6 tablespoons Clarified butter in a frying pan, then add the bread cubes and fry until golden brown.

Set aside.

Stage 5 - 2 min.

Chop 9 hard-boiled eggs.

Stage 6 - 5 min.

Combine the asparagus, croutons and hard-boiled eggs in a salad bowl. Snip the parsley and chives over the top, then add the vinaigrette and mix well. Your asparagus salad is ready.

Remarks

If (like me), you enjoy warm ingredients in salads, you can give the asparagus a few seconds in the microwave to reheat it, just before adding to the bowl.

If you do not have clarified butter, use a little oil instead.

Keeping

! hour maximum, otherwise the croutons will go soggy.
