I love a potato salad,
2 large slices of fresh bread
4 medium eggs
6 asparagus spears
6 tablespoons of mayonnaise
2 tablespoons of cider vinegar
Handful of fresh dill
Chives (optional)
Method
- Cut or snap the woody white ends from the asparagus.
- Place the eggs in a pan of cold water and bring to the boil. Cook for a further 5-6 minutes.
- Remove the eggs from the pan and place into a bowl of cold water.
- Steam the asparagus for 4-6 minutes until just tender (cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of the spears). Remove from the pan and place into a large bowl of cold water to retain the colour.
- Finely chop the dill (and chives if using).
- Mix together the mayonnaise with the cider vinegar using a small whisk if possible (as this helps to remove any lumps). Season.
- Add herbs to taste.
- Peel the eggs (under cold running water) and then chop into pieces (see image).
- Drain the asparagus and cut into bite size chunks.
- Combine all of the ingredients in a serving bowl.
- Butter the bread and then spoon the egg and asparagus mixture onto the bread.
- Sprinkle over a few more herbs and serve.
