Asparagus, Egg & Bacon Salad with Dijon Vinaigrette (taken from Skinnytaste)

I absolutely LOVE Skinnytaste! I bet most people would agree that those recipes are pretty darn healthy AND delicious!! This one is no exception to that statement. I love salads and I am always looking for different ways to get those greens in without being too bland or boring. So this little baby was delivered to my inbox a while ago and I tried it and immediately fell in love. Asparagus is one veggie that my kids will eat straight off of the grill but any other way is a definite no-no. To my surprise they enjoyed this salad. It's fresh and light and the hard boiled egg makes it a great meal in itself. 

Ingredients:

• 1 large hard boiled egg, peeled and sliced
• 1 2/3 cups chopped asparagus
• 2 slices cooked and crumbled center cut bacon
• 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
• pinch salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the asparagus and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until tender yet firm. Drain and run under cold water to stop it from cooking further. Set aside.

In a small bowl mix the Dijon, oil, vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper.

I tossed the asparagus with the vinaigrette and topped the salad with a sprinkle of the bacon and then served the egg on the side. ~Enjoy!~
