1 tablespoon minced basil
1/2 teaspoon Dijon
ocean salt
freshly terra firma dark pepper

Whisk together the dressing ingredients. Toss the bacon in addition to asparagus inwards a bowl. Drizzle alongside dressing. Top alongside the eggs.

*I works life the easiest agency to produce this is to grate the eggs non from the ends only on the sides.

My thoughts:

I was looking through roughly 1950s cookbooks awhile dorsum in addition to inwards ane at that spot was a recipe that featured asparagus topped alongside a creamy sauce in addition to a fine sprinkle of hard-boiled egg yolk. It looked skilful inwards form of a gross way. It was wintertime at the fourth dimension then I mentally filed it away until asparagus was inwards season. I all the same can't convey myself to drown poor, innocent asparagus inwards a cream sauce then I switched that out for a lite vinaigrette. To live on genuinely healthy, teach out out the bacon only it adds a smashing savory-salty non that went perfectly alongside the asparagus-egg combo.
