I now have two asparagus with bacon recipes in one week…oops! My apologies. Hope you don’t mind.
But both recipes are very different; the first one I posted this week was completely my own while this one is Dorie’s. And mine was all about the cheese, while this one is all about the egg. Look at it:
Isn’t that such a beautiful salad? I’d be so happy to serve this at our next dinner party. It looks amazing, it tastes heavenly, and it’s done in a snap.
This salad includes a perfectly soft-boiled egg, cooked asparagus, crunchy bacon, toasted hazelnuts, and a delicious vinaigrette made with dijon mustard and sherry vinegar, among other things.
The hardest thing about this salad was making sure that I get a runny egg yolk. Do you think I succeeded? Lets see:
I was a happy camper. 
The participants of French Fridays with Dorie do not share the recipes. Instead, we encourage you to get the book, Around My French Table, and join our club!
The more asparagus and bacon the better as far as I’m concerned! Actually it’s kind of nice to see two different recipes with similar main ingredients. Both look fabulous!!
When I saw the first pic with the egg, I thought there was something special about it. Like I wanted to run and grab it and escape with it. (Hey, it’s Friday, I get to behave a bit crazy
heh)
Then, I saw the pic with the runny yolk. Now I’m definitely going to run. To the grocery store to get the ingredients for this recipe. Such a great idea! Looks beautiful too.
I would have a hard time choosing between the two salads. They both sound delicious. Perhaps one for lunch and the other for dinner? This salad, with the egg and nuts, is quite stunning.
I was wondering why you posted your FFWD salad earlier in the week, and then realized it’s a totally different recipe altogether! Both salads look absolutely delicious, and woohoo for achieving the perfect, runny egg yolks!
Oh, this is stunning Kate! Happy FRIDAY!
Oh my, my my. That definitely IS a perfect egg….great job on keeping the center runny. Your salad is gorgeous. I have the book and I need to get making some of these recipes! Too many recipes; too little time.
Your bacon fat fried egg looks fantastic, Kate! Love the ecru color and the little speckles of bacon dust.
Great job on your salad…looks beautiful on that pretty plate.
I loved this salad so much and now I know how to soft boil eggs, I will be doing this much more often. So oozy and delicious!
Gosh, Kate. Why are you apologising? This is just fantastic, especially as it’s in season. You’ve also shown in one day how clever you are with your eggs. This looks perfect and your guest post with the poached yolks in that crunchy trifle… what can I say? Brilliant! Have a great weekend.

Hi, I came over from Le Blog
This recipe has some of my favorite ingredients all in one dish. It’s certainly a beautiful salad and that egg looks perfectly cooked.
Lovely job with the eggs and the photos, Kate:) I can’t wait to try it w/ hard boiled eggs. This salads would be great with a delicious loaf of French bread!

I couldn’t find asparagus this week, I was bummed because this is such a pretty salad!
Very beautiful. And love that plate.
This time of year, there can never be too many asparagus recipes. Since it’s not quite in season up here yet, I have lots of ideas in hand when our time finally comes
Look at you and your amazing pics!!! That plate is so perfect with this dish, gorgeous!!! I am going to make this tomorrow, it sounds soooo yummy:-)
Hugs, Terra
I like both of your asparagus posts! I always steam or grill my asparagus. I need a little inspiration to start actually using it in recipes
Such a lovely salad, Kate! It looks so fresh and delicious
That egg looks perfect! Must be delicious with the asparagus!
this looks colourfully delicious
This looks so good
I need this cookbook asap LOL 
Why not eat asparagus (with or without bacon) everyday while it’s at its peak? I loved this salad. Your earlier post looks delicious too. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful job on the salad. There can never be too many asparagus recipes!
cannot get enough of fresh asparagus, so tender right now… both in one week would be just fine at my table
Healthy and yummy, i think nobody could do better!
That is a beautiful salad. I love all the flavors in there. And great job on the egg!
hey don’t mind at all! Great salad recipes!
What a great dish to use up asparagus! My post scheduled for tomorrow uses asparagus in soup, but this yummy salad really sounds better right to me now:)
What a beautiful salad! Looks delicious!
No no- we don’t mind. We like. A lot. And I just want to tell you that this is so beautifully plated. What a pretty picture!
This looks so wonderful. One of my favorite salads comes with a poached egg on top and it’s sooo good. Love your idea with the asparagus and bacon, too. Delicious!
That looks lovely! I wish we had gotten it together last week so we could have participated!!!
I love the idea of a soft boiled egg on top of a salad. Looks amazing.
that egg is just perfection…
