We love to cook food that is in season and we also love asparagus! But the asparagus has a short season here in Europe and especially in Sweden so we take the opportunity to enjoy it now because during the autumn and winter, much of the asparagus in grocery stores are imported halfway across the globe from Chile. We feel that it is unnecessary to eat asparagus as it never tastes as good as it does right now. So here’s a simple asparagus salad recipe for a delightful spring salad with radishes, soft-boiled eggs and red onion.
