Green asparagus season is in full swing, so we make the most of it! Today we go for a classic combination of asparagus and semi-boiled eggs with the addition of fried halloumi cheese. From these few simple ingredients, you can create something really delicious. Salad with asparagus and egg is recommended for a healthy, gluten-free breakfast. Let’s get started!
The recipe is super easy and can be prepared in almost no time. Asparagus have a relatively short season, so make the most of them with this crave-worthy seasonal salad.
Salad with asparagus and eggs - ingredients
- Eggs - I suggest serving one egg per portion, but feel free to add more. Cook them the way you like best soft, semi-hard or hard. I like the semi-hard ones the most, it’s not always easy to cook them perfectly, though! :)
- Asparagus - I like to roast them in the oven with a little butter and a pinch of salt. If you haven't tried the roasted asparagus before, I highly recommend them, they are delicious! In this recipe I prepare them this way, so you can give it a go.
- Smoked bacon - from time to time I bake asparagus wrapped in a thin slice of smoked bacon, this time I served it as an addition to the salad. If you want to prepare a vegetarian dish or reduce calories, skip it. The salad will taste great anyway.
- Halloumi cheese - I recommend serving two thin slices per serving, but as always, feel free to adjust the amount to your preferences.
- Greens- lamb's lettuce, arugula, spinach or any lettuce or a mix of young leaves will work fine here. Choose what you have on hand.

Salad with asparagus and eggs
Ingredients
- bunch of green asparagus
- 2 eggs
- 2 handful of lamb's lettuce
- 2 thin slices of smoked bacon (optional)
- 4 thin slices halloumi cheese
- tsp butter (melted)
- salt to taste
- drizzle of oil
Dressing
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp water
- ½ tsp balsamic vinegar
- ½ tsp honey
Instructions
- Wash the asparagus, place them on a baking tray, add a teaspoon of melted butter and season them with a pinch of salt. If you’re using smoked bacon, wrap 2-3 asparagus in each bacon slice. Bake the asparagus in a preheated oven (180C) for about 10 minutes or until soft. After baking, cut them into smaller pieces (except the asparagus wrapped in bacon).
- Boil the eggs according to your preferences. If you like semi-hard eggs, put them in boiling water and cook for about 6-7 minutes. Once cooked, peel them and set them aside.
- Fry the thin slices of halloumi cheese in a frying pan with a little oil (just enough to prevent sticking) until golden brown.
- Arrange the lamb's lettuce, sliced asparagus, egg halves and halloumi cheese on plates. Put the bacon wrapped asparagus on the edge.
- Mix the dressing ingredients and pour over the prepared salads. Enjoy your meal!
