Ingredients
  

  • 1 Pound asparagus trimmed
  • 2 Boiled eggs roughly chopped
  • 3 Slices prosciutto
  • Fresh dill roughly chopped
  • Fresh chives roughly chopped

For the dressing

  • 4 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ¾ Teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Pre heat the oven to 375 and prepare a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Lay the prosciutto slices on the parchment and cook until darkened in color and crisp; about 12 minutes. When cooled, roughly chop the prosciutto and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, fill a large, straight sided pan with 2-3 inches of water and bring to a boil. Salt the water, add the asparagus and cook until tender crisp; about 4 minutes. While the asparagus is cooking, prepare an ice bath. Transfer the asparagus from the pan to the ice bath to stop the cooking. Drain and pat dry.
  • Make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk the lemon, mustard and olive oil together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Arrange the asparagus on a platter and spoon the chopped eggs over the top followed by the crispy prosciutto. Drizzle the dressing over the dish and garnish with fresh herbs.
  • Enjoy!
