How to Make Asparagus And Shrimp Salad

  1. Snap off the tough ends of 1 pound of asparagus and discard.
  2. Blanch the asparagus in boiling salted water for 3-4 minutes, until tender-crisp. Immediately plunge into an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  3. Drain the asparagus thoroughly and set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 pound cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined), the blanched asparagus, 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, and the zest and juice of 1 lemon.
  5. Whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon honey, salt, and pepper to taste.
  6. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. To serve, arrange a bed of mixed lettuce leaves on a platter or individual plates.
  9. Spoon the chilled asparagus and shrimp salad on top of the lettuce.
  10. Garnish with 1 hard-boiled egg, sliced, and 4 tomato wedges.
