Step 1

Place the eggs into a medium saucepan, fill about halfway with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cook them for 5 minutes. Then remove to a bowl and cover with cold water or ice. Keep the saucepan on the burner for cooking the asparagus after.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the bacon to the skillet and cook until crispy, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board.

Step 4

In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil, vinegar, Dijon, salt, and pepper. Add to skillet and cook until the acidic smell has cooked away, stirring constantly 1-2 minutes - then return to the bowl

Step 5

Wash the asparagus and snap (or cut) off woody ends. Cut on an angle into 5 cm pieces.

Step 6

Once eggs have been removed, add asparagus to the boiling water and cook until tender and bright green, 2-3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop it from cooking further. Set aside.

Step 7

Roughly chop the walnuts.

Step 8

Peel the eggs and quarter lengthwise. Chop the bacon into smaller pieces.

Step 9

To serve, arrange asparagus, eggs, bacon, and walnuts on a plate and drizzle with dressing. Enjoy!
