White Asparagus Salad with Ham and Egg

White asparagus salad is extremely delicious! This white asparagus season I wanted to try new white asparagus dish. Every year I enjoy White Asparagus with Boiled Potatoes, Ham and Sauce Hollandaise or White Asparagus Soup, but I have never tried White Asparagus Salad. I think that is also my husband’s fault because he believes that there is no way that white asparagus can go well with vinegar. But he is not right!

I found a recipe in which the dressing is not too dominant, and it does not overwhelm the dish. You can still taste this delicious white asparagus! The White Asparagus Salad can be served as a starter or with boiled potatoes as a main dish. It’s light and easy to make, especially when you have some white asparagus left!
