Ingredients

Salad

  • 4 soft-boiled eggs see instructions below
  • ½ pound fresh asparagus trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup fresh peas
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 2 cups baby arugula
  • ½ cup thinly sliced radishes
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
  • lemon wedges

Dressing

Instructions

Soft-boiled or “jammy” eggs:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Gently add the eggs and cook for 7 minutes for softly set yolks. While the eggs are cooking, prepare a bowl of ice water. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to the ice bath to cool. Once cooled, peel and set aside.

Asparagus and Peas:

  • In the same pot of boiling water, add the asparagus and cook until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the peas and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Prepare another ice bath while the vegetables are cooking. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to the ice bath to blanche them and stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.

Dressing:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, chives, Dijon mustard, kosher salt and pepper until blended.

Salad:

  • In a large bowl, combine the spinach, arugula, blanched asparagus and peas, radishes, and red onion. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  • Halve the soft boiled eggs and arrange on top of the salad. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
