10 mins prepServes 4
Vibrant and crisp shaved asparagus salad with peanut dressing is perfect for Easter brunch or any springtime gathering. Raw asparagus is paired with cucumber, avocado and egg for a nutritious and flavorful spring dish.
Shave Asparagus and Cucumber
1 Using a vegetable peeler, shave the asparagus and the peeled cucumber into thin strips. Transfer to a large bowl and add a bit of salt. Let stand for 5 minutes before straining the liquid.
Make Peanut Dressing
1 In a small jar whisk together peanut butter, sesame oil, soy sauce, lemon juice and maple syrup. Add a little water to make the dressing pourable.
Poach Eggs
1 In a medium-sized saucepan, bring water to a boil. Beat an egg into a small ceramic or metal ramekin and place it in the water. Cook for 3 minutes, remove from water and use a tablespoon or a spatula to get the egg out. Done!*
Assemble The Salad
1 Strain the liquid from the asparagus cucumber mixture and stir in half of the peanut dressing. Divide into 4 bowls and top each bowl with 1/4 sliced avocado and a poached egg.
2 Drizzle with the rest of the dressing and garnish with chopped chives and black and/or white sesame seeds. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Enjoy!
