Found on a bunch of fresh organic asparagus from where else but California. I made a few changes and added some other things to the original recipe.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon finely chopped green olives
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon snipped chives
1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon milk or 1 tablespoon heavy cream
4 cups romaine lettuce (cos)
1/2 lb asparagus spear, trimmed and roasted, cut into 2-inch pieces (read *note)
6 yellow cherry tomatoes, cut in half or 6 cherry tomatoes
2 -3 slices bacon, crisply cooked and cut up into bite size pieces
1/3 cup white cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes (i used irish dubliner vintage)
1/4 cup sliced cucumber
2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
Directions:
1. *NOTE: To roast the asparagus, place the spears singly in a baking pan.
2. Cook at 400 degrees for about 7 minutes, turning them at the halfway mark so that they roast evenly. Spears should still be crisp NOT mushy. Set aside to cool.
3. Dressing: Place all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Yield: 1/3 cup. Salad dressing is best prepared at least 1 hour in advance. (If dressing it too thick, thin with a little bit more milk or cream.).
4. Salad: Wash the romaine lettuce. Use a salad spinner to dry the lettuce.
5. Place the romaine in a salad bowl. Toss with the remaining salad ingredients.
6. Serve dressing on side.
