Shaved Asparagus and Parmesan Salad
This recipe is a fun departure from your average asparagus recipe because the asparagus is raw, and not cooked. Give it a try!
Ingredients
2 shallots or 1/2 cup leeks or onions (diced very fine)
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Salt
1/3 cup olive oil
12 large asparagus spears
Pepper
A wedge of parmesan, shaved thin
Instructions
Macerate the shallots or onions in the vinegar, lemon juice and a bit of salt for 15 minutes. Whisk in the olive oil. Snap off the tough bottom part of the asparagus spears. With a mandolin or a vegetable peeler, shave the asparagus lengthwise into paper thin ribbons. Put the ribbons into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and add the vinaigrette. Shave the parmesan cheese over the top before serving.
