Steps:
- Heat grill to High and cook the bacon for 5 mins until crisp, then snip with scissors into pieces. Set aside. Cook the eggs in boiling water for 8 mins (5 mins for hen's eggs), drain and plunge into ice water, to cool as quickly as possible.
- Make the dressing: whisk all ingredients together with seasoning. Prepare the asparagus by snapping off the base of each spear - it'll break at the tender point.
- Just before serving, put the nuts and bacon into a warm oven. Halve the eggs and season. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil; cook the asparagus for about 5 mins, until just tender. Drain, then divide between plates. Add egg halves, sprinkle with nuts and bacon, then drizzle with dressing in a zigzag pattern.

BACON-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS
While asparagus season is here, keep this recipe near. It's a pretty and impressive side perfect for brunch or dinner-maybe alongside a steak! And it's a godsend when entertaining, since it's made with only five ingredients, a single pan and the simplest of techniques. The trick is wrapping bundles of asparagus, instead of individual stalks. As the bundles bake, the bacon drippings infuse the stalks with smoky flavor and transform this sometimes-woody vegetable into a silky smooth and meltingly tender masterpiece which, in our experience, no one can resist!

Steps:
- In a skillet cook bacon over moderate heat until crisp. Drain bacon on paper towels and crumble. Trim asparagus and in a saucepan of boiling salted water cook until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. In a colander drain asparagus and refresh under cold water. Cut asparagus into 1/2-inch-thick pieces, leaving about 2 inches of tops intact.
- In a large bowl whisk together vinegar, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste and add oil in a stream, whisking until emulsified. Tear frisée or chicory into bite-size pieces and add to dressing with asparagus and bacon. Toss salad to combine.
Tips:
- Choosing the Right Asparagus: Select fresh, firm asparagus spears with tight tips and smooth, even stalks. Avoid spears that are limp, wilted, or have brown or woody ends.
- Cooking the Asparagus: For best results, roast the asparagus in a hot oven until tender-crisp. This will bring out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can also grill or pan-sear the asparagus for a slightly different texture.
- Preparing the Bacon: Cook the bacon until it is crispy and then crumble it. This adds a smoky, salty flavor to the salad.
- Making the Dressing: The dressing for this salad is simple but flavorful. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. You can also add a bit of minced garlic or shallots for extra flavor.
- Assembling the Salad: Combine the roasted asparagus, crumbled bacon, and dressing in a large bowl. Toss to coat. Serve immediately or chill for later.
Conclusion:
This hot bacon asparagus salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a quick and healthy salad recipe, give this one a try.
