Ingredients
  

For the Salad:

  • 1/2 ob fresh asparagus trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen peas
  • 1.5 cups spinach
  • 1.5 cups arugula
  • 1/2 cup radishes thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 4 soft-boiled eggs see instructions below
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper
  • Lemon wedges for serving optional

For the Dressing:

  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Fresh herbs such as dill, parsley, or chives, chopped

Instructions
 

Prepare the Soft-Boiled Eggs:

  • - Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently add the eggs and simmer for 4-6 minutes for softly set yolks. Remove and transfer to an ice bath to cool. Once cooled, peel and set aside.

Blanch the Asparagus and Peas:

  • - In the same pot of boiling water, add the asparagus pieces and cook for about 5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  • - Add the peas and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Immediately drain and transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.

Make the Dressing:

  • - In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until combined.

Assemble the Salad:

  • - In a large bowl, combine the spinach, arugula, blanched asparagus, peas, radishes, and red onion. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Serve:

  • - Divide the salad among serving plates. Halve the soft-boiled eggs and place on top of each salad serving.
  • - Garnish with fresh herbs (chives or parsley) if desired and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
