Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Cut the stale bread into bite-sized cubes. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Toast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 10-15 minutes until golden brown.

  2. 2

    Blanch the Asparagus and Peas

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus pieces and blanch for 2-3 minutes. Remove and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking. In the same water, blanch the English peas for 1-2 minutes, then transfer to the ice bath.

  3. 3

    Mix the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the toasted bread, blanched asparagus, English peas, shaved mushrooms, and chopped radicchio. Toss gently.

  4. 4

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the house Italian dressing over the salad ingredients and toss to combine. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the salad and top each serving with a cured egg yolk. Serve immediately.
