Im all about the salads! I love keeping them quite easy and fresh. Just using ingredients that are in season. My idea of a perfect salad is a salad with different textures, colors and tastes. I also love varying how I cut the vegetables. Some are sliced, some are diced into different sizes, some are cut lengthwise and some are kept whole. And the most important part for me is to combine raw with cooked and fried vegetables. This really created an interesting salad. A boring salad can easily turn into an amazing salad by just mixing cooked and raw vegetables and slicing and dicing them into different shapes. So that’s always key when I make a salad. This salad is an easy and super delicious salad using summer vegetables with a cooked egg. It is perfect to eat just as it is, serve it with some protein (I ate mine with some shrimps) or serve it as a side dish to your main course. This salad is both vegetarian, gluten, grain free and low carb.
A few tips:
- Cut the vegetables into different shapes and sizes. It makes the salad more interesting.
- When frying the asparagus and bok choy make sure to fry it on quite high heat and not for too long. You want the vegetables to soften a little bit and get warm but not totally cooked though. They should still be crunchy and have some chewing resistance.
- Use any salad, greens leafs that you like or have at home. I love mixing a few different, here using arugula, spinach and mangold.
- Cook the egg 6-12 minutes depending on how you prefer your egg yolk.
- Top with herbs of your choice.
