Spring salad with roasted asparagus and quail eggs

April 6, 2017 By travellingoven 2 Comments

I already talked a lot here on the blog how I get inspired the most from the nature and different seasons, beautiful fresh produce, wholesome ingredients, farmers markets… The same thing happened here! I love, love, love asparagus and when I saw that locally grown asparagus started to appear on farmers markets and shops I immediately had an idea to use them in a beautiful and colourful Spring salad!

Also, I wanted to post a recipe that would be great addition to any Easter lunch and so I included those pretty little quail eggs but of course this salad can be made and it will be equally delicious with some lovely organic hen eggs. I love all the ingredients in this salad and it makes such a healthy, pretty and delicious side dish but also can be enjoyed as a main dish for a light lunch. Hope you’ll love it too! 🙂 Oh and here you can check out another delicious lunch idea with roasted asparagus & fried eggs, yum!

What do you think, do you like these kind of salads? Isn’t Spring just beautiful with everything that is has to offer!? The city is full of pretty pink and white blossoms and farmers markets are colourful with lovely vegetables, the only thing that will make it even better is when the cherry season starts as cherries are possibly my favourite fruit and I can’t wait to enjoy them and also make some lovely recipes with them! Oh and after that strawberries yaaay I can’t wait! Is it strange that food gets me so excited, I hope not? 😉 Is there anything that you would like to see on the blog this Spring? I always love hearing from you and appreciate all your opinions, ideas and comments! 🙂

Nothing to do with the recipe but  just want to share, enjoying little things has been so important for my heart and soul. You know, those little rituals like enjoying a cup of tea or coffee from a pretty cup, buying some lovely fresh flowers, lighting candles for cozy evenings at home and of course preparing, shooting, eating delicious healthy food. It’s so important to take a bit of time just for yourself, time to breath, to stay positive, to appreciate the little things…

Ok, let’s go back to the recipe now and I’ll be back soon with another post so stay tuned and make sure you subscribe (by just writing your email in the ‘subscribe’ box on blog’s homepage) so you don’t miss any of the new blog posts! 🙂

Spring salad with roasted asparagus and quail eggs

Prep time
15 mins
Cook time
15 mins
Total time
30 mins
 
Recipe type: Salad
Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 10-12 quail eggs (or 4-5 hen eggs), boiled
  • 2 handfuls of mixed green salad (I used green baby leaf salad and rucola (arugula)
  • bunch of asparagus, roasted
  • 4-5 radishes
  • 5-6 cherry tomatoes
  • 2-3 tbsp corn (canned)
  • lemon & olive oil dressing
  • Note: this quantity makes for 2 side dishes but you can adjust the quantities as needed.
Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 200 C / 390 F. Prepare large baking tray and line it with baking paper.
  2. Clean asparagus stalks by just snapping them in two and removing the hard/wooden part (Hold a spear of asparagus between your two hands and it will naturally bend in exactly the right spot separating tender top from tough bottom).
  3. Place asparagus on the baking tray, drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast for about 15-20 min, remove from the oven and let them cool.
  4. While the asparagus are cooling down, boil the quail eggs. Place them in boiling water (you can add 1 tsp of baking soda to the water so they peel easier) and cook for about 4 min for hardboiled eggs. Leave the to cool slightly.
  5. Prepare the green mixed salad, slice radishes and cherry tomatoes, add corn and finally arrange asparagus stalks and halves of cooked quail eggs.
  6. Drizzle with a dressing of olive oil and fresh lemon juice, season and enjoy!

Hi! I’m Lili and I’m so happy
to welcome you on my blog!

First things first. Why Travelling oven you’re wondering? Well, when this blog was created I had been living as an expat for about 8 years in beautiful countries like Scotland, Kazakhstan, Switzerland, Turkey...READ MORE...

The last few days since I came back to Zagreb I mo The last few days since I came back to Zagreb I mostly spent doing admin stuff and buying groceries (my fridge was totally empty!) and for breaks I did yoga and re-edited some older photos. So here’s one of them from beautiful winter @plitvicelakesnp, hope you like it...🦆❄️

After three weeks in Dubrovnik, the time has come After three weeks in Dubrovnik, the time has come for me to return to Zagreb. Besides the pandemic reality, in these weeks we had horrible earthquake in Croatia that took lives, destroyed homes and left the whole country in the state of shock. On a personal level we had to face death in the family due to Covid and if somebody tells me ever again that 'they would have died anyway because they were old" I will really lose it!! My little niece and nephew lost their grandmother and we all lost a person we loved. So, it was and still is a difficult time but life taught me many times before that we are stronger than we think and that the most important thing is to find peace within yourself. I still wake up every morning grateful for life, for my people, for photography, for all the little things that make life beautiful. And I dream about all the good things that will come our way... 
Sending you my love and positive thoughts and sharing these not so typical Dubrovnik photos.❤️

I know it's not the most colourful and bright phot I know it's not the most colourful and bright photo for this occasion but it represents what this year has been like for me personally. Difficult, lonely, at times very dark but at the same time with its sweet moments that I get to keep forever in my heart, beauty found in 'ordinary' and sparkles of light that give hope and comfort. I wish that 2021 will bring more freedom, health and happiness for all of us! Thank you for being here with me... ❤️

My favourite moments in these last two days since My favourite moments in these last two days since I came to Dubrovnik are baking ‘orahnjaca’ (Croatian) or ‘potica’ (Slovenian), traditional walnut cake with my mum, harvesting mandarins in our garden with my dad, soaking up the sun that I missed so much after about a month of dark and gloomy days, reading a book on the terrace and stopping every few moments to just look at the sea... All the little things that bring me much needed calm and joy. Hope you are all well and finding your little moments too...☺️❤️

I miss mountains, snow and travelling so here are I miss mountains, snow and travelling so here are few details from the Swiss Alps, a place I called home few years ago... It’s so strange, I am from Dubrovnik, born by the sea and of course I love it but I would choose mountains and forests anytime! It's where my soul is at peace and happiest.☺️❄️How about you?

Drinking hot chocolate and eating gingerbread cook Drinking hot chocolate and eating gingerbread cookies like I don't have a worry on my mind! Yeah right...😅

Comfort food is just the best! I have few that ins Comfort food is just the best! I have few that instantly make me feel better like semolina porridge or spaghetti with fresh tomatoes and basil... Crepes with apricot jam are high up on that list too! 😉 I'm curious, what is your favourite comfort food?

Story behind this image: because of all the festive photos on social media these days, I felt pressured to create some in Christmas mood too. But nothing was going as I imagined and I simply was not feeling it. So I decided to put all that away and create something that reflects more of me and what and how I feel at the moment. So this is one of the images from that series. In the end what matters the most is that we create from our heart.✨
