Method

1. 1.Preparation of asparagus and eggs

Cook the eggs in a pot of boiling water for 8 to 9 minutes to get hard eggs, then dip them in cold water to stop cooking and facilitate peeling.

5. 5.Preparation of linings
6. 6.Wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and cut them in half. Drain the slices of raw ham in strips. Cut the cooled hard eggs and cut them into quarters. Prepare the mesclun by rinsing it with great water and wiping it well so that it stays fresh and crisp.
7. 7.Preparation of the dressing
8. 8.In a bowl, mix Dijon mustard, honey and balsamic vinegar. Gradually add marinated tuna oil and lemon juice. Drive vigorously to create a homogeneous emulsion. Salt and pepper at your convenience, taste and then adjust seasoning according to your preferences.
9. 9.Assembling the salad
10. 10.Have a bed of mesclun on each plate. Sprinkle with cherry tomatoes, asparagus sections and tips, raw ham strips and hard egg quarters. Gently add the chipped Parmesan and pine sprockets. Mix all ingredients harmoniously to ensure a nice presentation.
