Recipe Notes

Note #1- For this salad I did not add the parmesan (Parmigiano Reggiano) to the roasted asparagus. By not adding it the calories, fat and sodium for the salad will be lower. However, freshly grated parmesan is absolutely delicious on this salad.

Note #2- Since prosciutto is a salty and very flavorful deli meat, only a small amount is needed per person (approximately .2 ounces per person).

Note #3- For a very quick and simple meal prepare the eggs, asparagus and dressing in advance and refrigerate. Once these recipes are done, the assembly of the salad will take approximately 5 minutes. Here is the total time needed for each recipe. Keep in mind that all 3 recipes can be prepared at the same time.

Easy Peel Hard Boiled Eggs- 20 minutes of prep time (includes peeling of the eggs), 13 minutes cook time and 15 minutes for the ice bath.

Roasted Asparagus- Has a 5 minutes prep time and cooks for 12 minutes.

Lemon Dijon Dressing- Approximately 5 minutes prep time and can be made while the eggs and asparagus cook.

Note #4- For easier serving cut asparagus spears into bite sized pieces. This will not look as pretty, but will be easier to serve.
