Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp red-wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp wholegrain mustard
- 1/4 tsp dried tarragon
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of freshly ground pepper
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1/2 bunch asparagus, tough ends trimmed
- 2 large hard-boiled eggs
- 5 cups mixed salad leaves
- 10 cherry tomatoes
- Large tin of tuna in spring water, drained (tinned or fresh salmon would work too!)
- Dollop of natural Greek yoghurt
Method
- Whisk vinegar, oil, mustard, tarragon, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Add garlic and set aside.
- Bring 4cm of water to a boil in a medium pot. Add asparagus, stirring to submerge if necessary, and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and place under cold running water until cooled.
- Peel and slice eggs. Divide salad greens between two plates and top with the eggs, asparagus, tomatoes and tuna. Remove the garlic from the dressing, stir to combine and drizzle over the salads. Place a dollop of Greek yoghurt on top and enjoy!
