Ingredients – I’m sorry for the measurements below, like I said this was an accident. I’ll make the below for (2?) people

  • 5 stems of asparagus/ per person- trimmed
  • 2 handfuls of watercress- washed and rinsed
  • 2 handfuls of baby spinach- washed and rinsed
  • 6 small golden beets ( slice after roasting)
  • eggs

Dressing:

  • 2Tbsp olive oil
  • ¼cup white miso
  • 2Tbsp rice vinegar

Rub beets with oil and place on large piece of foil, season with salt and pepper. Fold over foil, creating a little package around them. Roast at 400° for about 40mins or until tender went poked with fork. Be sure to put on a baking sheet in case any oil drips. During the last 10-15 minutes, roast your asparagus in the same type foil pocket as the beets.

Meanwhile whisk together your dressing. Set aside

Remove beets and asparagus from oven, let beets cool in fridge then peel and cut into ½” slices.

Meanwhile:

In a medium pot, boil water. Crack eggs into boiling water to poach.

While beets are cooling, steam your spinach for no more than 5 minutes. Then drain and place and a cold water bath until chilled and then drain.

To assemble plate:

Place a handful of watercress on plate, topped with spinach, arranged beets over bed of greens. Drizzle dressing and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place asparagus beside salad topped with egg and seasoned with salt and pepper.
