Asparagus and egg salad are a great combination of vegetables and protein. Asparagus can be grilled, steamed, or grilled. A tasty dressing made with lemon juice, shallot, capers, sugar, and other seasonings will complement the asparagus and eggs. It’s best to make it the day before to allow the asparagus to cool. Aside from the salad, the asparagus can also be sliced and served raw.

I really like instant gratification. It’s a big motivator for me. If I can’t do something, I want to know why, and I want how, then I want to know when I can. I think this factor has helped me in my picture taking. When I see a picture and don’t understand how someone took it, I instantly start to read a manual or look online. I also tend to upload pictures to twitpic before blogging about them, just because I want someone to tell me yum, or looks good!

Notes

What a unique and fabulous salad. I have seen variations of this salad in the past, but never with grilled asparagus. It was warm and charred, which went nice with creamy Hollandaise. The salad tasted fresh and light, though Hollandaise is not a light sauce! Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salad and you are good to go!
