Ingredients
For the dressing
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ tbsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp mustard
- salt and pepper to season
For the salad
- 6 streaky bacon rashers (strips)
- 6 medium asparagus spears
- 150 g mixed baby leaf salad
- 2 medium eggs
- 1 small avocado peeled and sliced into 8 strips
- salt and pepper to season
Instructions
- To prepare the dressing, add all ingredients to a small mixing bowl and whisk together well to combine. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F), 180°C (350°F) for fan assisted.
- Wrap each asparagus spear with bacon so that it covers the stalk. Arrange the asparagus spears across a shallow oven tray and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Roast for 18-20 minutes until the asparagus is tender and the bacon is crisp and golden.
- Whilst the asparagus is cooking, add the eggs to a pan of water so that they are covered. Bring to a boil then simmer for 4-5 minutes. Rinse immediately under cold water, peel and set aside.
- Add the salad leaves to a serving bowl along with the sliced avocado. Arrange the asparagus on the plate.
- Slice the eggs in half and add to the serving bowl.
- Drizzle over the dressing to serve.
