Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh minced thyme
  • 1 tablespoon fresh minced basil
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 8 cups lettuce leaves (Romaine, Butter or Red Leaf), torn or chopped
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon capers, drained
  • 4 medium hard-boiled eggs, peeled and quartered
  • 2 medium tomatoes, cut into 8 wedges

Instructions

  • Whisk together the vinegars, salt, honey, mustard and fresh herbs. Drizzle in the olive oil while whisking vigorously to emulsify. Set aside.
  • Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus to the water and cook 3 to 5 minutes until just tender but still firm. Remove and rinse under cold water to stop from cooking further.
  • Toss together asparagus, lettuce, olives, onion and capers with half the prepared dressing. Place the salad mixture on a serving platter and arrange eggs and tomatoes around the outer edge. Serve additional dressing on the side in a small serving bowl.

  1. I bought a car without tinted windows, and it was way too hot in the summer. I wanted to add a tint myself to keep the car cooler. I found https://www.tintfit.com/ , and they have a bunch of car window tints to choose from. The site is easy to navigate, and they even offer installation tips if you want to do it yourself. They have regular discounts and good customer service. The tint I got really helps with the heat, and I’m happy with how it turned out.
