Shaved Raw Asparagus Salad With Parmesan And Lemon Dressing
- 1 bunch asparagus (about 30 stems) washed and tough ends removed
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 cup shaved parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- fresh ground pepper
- Cut tips off asparagus and reserve for another use. (Maybe the Asparagus Tips and ends with Roasted Fennel I plan to post next...)
- With a potato peeler or your favorite peeling device, shave asparagus spears, turning and shaving, turning and shaving until you have shaved as much as you can - you will have little ends and pieces left over - just reserve them with the tips for another use.
- Place in bowl with olive oil, lemon juice and salt. Cover and refrigerate for at least half an hour and up to 2 hours. The lemon juice will "cook" and tenderize the asparagus.
- Remove from fridge. Toss in shaved parmesan. Adjust for salt. Serve to plates and grind a little pepper over each one. Enjoy!
