From Prophetstown, Illinois, Paulette Balda relates, This meal-in-one salad is so easy to fix when I get home from work...but it looks like I spent an hour preparing it. It's great with warm rolls. Ingredients:
7 bacon strips, diced |
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed |
1/3 cup white vinegar |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
4 cups torn salad greens |
1/2 cup sliced almonds |
2 hard-cooked eggs, sliced |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels to drain, reserving 2-3 tablespoons drippings.
2. Cut asparagus into 1-1/2-in. pieces; saute in drippings until crisp-tender. Add the vinegar, sugar, mustard, pepper and bacon. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until heated through.
3. In a large salad bowl, combine salad greens and almonds. Add the asparagus mixture; toss gently. Arrange eggs over the salad. Yield: 6 servings.
