How to make asparagus and avocado salad – Best Tips & Tricks
This avocado and asparagus salad recipe is quite easy but there are a few tricks you need to know before making it.
Among them, is how to cook asparagus for salad, how to boil the eggs and how to adapt this asparagus and avocado salad recipe to your taste.
So keep reading ’cause it gets interesting. Especially the eggs boiling part ?
1. How to boil the eggs for asparagus avocado and tomato salad
I made this cold asparagus salad with eggs, and I know, you probably think I’m nuts trying to teach you how to boil the eggs. What’s next? Show you how to spin a wheel?! :))
But if you want to make the best asparagus and avocado salad, then everything should be cooked just how you like it.
This means you have to decide beforehand how you like eggs and boil them accordingly.
If you like them with a runny yolk, boil them for 4-5 minutes, and if you want an almost dry yolk, the boiling time is 6 minutes. For hard-boiled eggs, it’s 7-8 minutes.
You might have known that, but here’s a trick you probably didn’t know. Once the boiling time is up, place the eggs into an ice bath and let them cool for a few minutes. This will prevent them from cooking any further.
Next, you’ll need to peel them as soon as they’re out of the ice bath. This way, they will peel nicely without the bits that usually come off with the shell.
You can apply the same technique for any recipe with eggs, not just for the asparagus avocado and tomato salad.
Next, let’s see how to cook asparagus for salad.
2. How to cook asparagus for salad
You can blanch, sautee or grill it. I blanched the asparagus for this salad because I wanted to make it quick and easy.
You can, however, cook it any way you like it but it’s worth noting that grilling and sauteeing will extend the cooking time.
Furthermore, I blanched it in the same pan in which I boiled the eggs. If you use another method, you’ll have to cook it separately. This too will add up to the cooking time.
Blanching asparagus is super easy.
The first thing you need to do is to prepare an ice bath and keep it handy.
Then you need to boil water and scald the asparagus in it for about 2 minutes. And then you need to place it, as quickly as possible, into the ice bath and let it chill for a few minutes. This will halt the cooking process.
Next, you need to drain and place it into your delicious avocado and asparagus salad.
Now I’m curious. How do you cook asparagus for salad? Is it grilled, sauteed or blanched? Or maybe you have some other delicious way? Don’t hold it off. Share it with us in the comments below.
And now let’s move on and see how you can adapt this easy asparagus recipe to your taste. After all, you want to make the best asparagus and avocado salad, right?! So it’s gotta be just the way you like it.
3. How to adapt this avocado and asparagus salad recipe to your taste
You can add any veggies as long as they are Keto-friendly.
Of course, I am assuming that you want to keep this recipe Keto. If that’s not important for you, just add any of your favorites.
You can make it with bell pepper, broccoli, celery, cucumbers etc. Furthermore, you can replace the cheese. Parmesan and Pecorino are great in this avocado and asparagus salad recipe.
It’s worth mentioning that I haven’t used any dressing because I considered it simply didn’t need one. I like it with only a drizzle of olive oil and some vinegar, or lime juice.
But if you are the kind of foodies who simply can’t imagine a salad without dressing, then you should try the mustard and maple syrup dressing I made for this quinoa chopped salad.
It’s worth pointing out here that it won’t be a Keto recipe anymore because maple syrup is not Keto-friendly.
For meal prep, divide the avocado and asparagus salad into 4 airtight containers and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Keep in mind that you shouldn’t add oil and vinegar until just before serving.
