Well hello to plate prettiness! This Low-carb Asparagus Mimosa is not only ridiculously delicious, super easy to make, but it’s also one of the prettiest plates I’ve stared down at in a while!

The asparagus is roasted to bring out the flavour, but feel free to steam or griddle if you prefer. Topped with hard boiled eggs and a zingy Dijon dressing, it’s great for a BBQ or light vegetarian keto meal or as a healthy keto-friendly side dish. Pair with your favourite source of protein for a balanced keto dinner.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

What a tasty idea! I'm loving the mix of asparagus and egg, looks so yummy. Thanks for not forgetting about us vegetarians!

❤️

★★★★★★★★★★

This was great although I might try green beans next. I have never been too keen on asparagus but my hubby loved it! 😊

I can't say I love it although it depends on the preparation. I love it sautéed with some butter or baked, not too keen on boiled asparagus.

★★★★★★★★★★

Such a beautiful dish! I never would have thought of using asparagus this way ❤️ I'm thinking duck eggs might be nice too!

Thank you so much, and yes 100%!
