Shaved Asparagus With Arugula & Parmesan
- 1/2 lb large or medium asparagus
- 2T freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3 tsp fruity extra virgin olive oil
- Salt & pepper
- 6 oz arugula, washed & dried
- Chunk of Parmesan, for shaving
- Sliced prosciutto (optional)
- 1. Snap off and discard the tough ends of the asparagus. Using a mandoline, sharp vegetable peeler or thin-bladed knife, slice the asparagus lengthwise into paper-thin ribbons.
- 2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and olive oil to make a dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- 3. Place the asparagus ribbons in a shallow salad bowl. Season lightly with salt and pepper and coat with half the dressing. Add the arugula, tossing gently to distribute the asparagus. Drizzle with the remaining dressing.
- 4. With a vegetable peeler, shave thin curls of Parmesan over the salad. Accompany with a platter of sliced prosciutto, if desired.
