Instructions

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 2–3 minutes until just tender and bright green.
Transfer the asparagus immediately to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process, then drain well.
Cut the asparagus into bite-sized pieces.
Place the asparagus in a large mixing bowl and add the diced avocado.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine without mashing the avocado.
Transfer the salad to a serving plate or bowl.
Grate the hard-boiled eggs over the top using a fine grater or microplane.
Sprinkle with fresh herbs and optional red pepper flakes.
Serve immediately while fresh.

Notes

Grating the eggs creates a light, fluffy texture that spreads evenly over the salad.Use ripe but firm avocados so they hold their shape when mixed.Blanching asparagus briefly keeps it bright green and slightly crisp.For extra flavor, add feta cheese, toasted nuts, or grilled chicken.
