Delicious. I didn't have roasted pepper so used fresh and the crunch of it was nice. Since I had oatmeal for brekkie and plan a vegetarian dinner I figured that I could afford a whole egg, lol. I had to use baby spinach for the bed but it all came together beautifully and made a very enjoyable lunch. -
I halved the recipe, and otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I loved the taste, but next time I will cut the asparagus in half and I'll also add some iceburg lettuce instead of just using baby greens. Loved the mix of flavors. I made this for Zaar 123 Tag. -
Boy, did we all on the farm ever enjoy this salad! I picked (about 1 lb) of fresh asparagus yesterday morning, and followed the recipe exactly, except for making 1/2 recipe. I did add some salt & pepper to the end result & mixed this beautiful asparagus with some fresh lettuce leaves. I might even use the whole egg next time. This is a fabulous taste sensation for this wonderful, healthful vegetable. :) Made for Everyday is a Holiday! May 2009 -
Yummy! This was just perfect for a spring lunch! I scaled it back for 1 and really enjoyed it. I added the whole egg and croutons. I love croutons! I thought they really added something to this great recipe. Thanks, Deb! -
I pared this down to use 1 pound of asparagus. I also added a drizzle of olive oil to the marinade/dressing. So YUMMY. I think next time I will cut the asparagus . Made for Everyday is a Holiday Tag and a dfinite keeper
