Creating Shaved Asparagus Salad with Soft-Boiled Eggs is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Asparagus: Trim the tough ends off the asparagus. Use a vegetable peeler or mandoline to shave the asparagus into thin ribbons.
2. Soft-Boil the Eggs: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently add the eggs and boil for 6-7 minutes for soft-boiled eggs. Then, transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
3. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
4. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, toss the shaved asparagus with the dressing until evenly coated.
5. Peel the Eggs: Once the eggs are cool, gently peel them and slice them in half.
6. Plate the Salad: Arrange the dressed asparagus on a serving platter. Place the soft-boiled egg halves on top.
7. Add Cheese and Herbs: Sprinkle shaved Parmesan cheese over the salad and garnish with fresh herbs.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the salad while the eggs are warm for the best flavor and texture.
