Shaved Asparagus Salad

• 1 bunch asparagus
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• Zest and juice of 1 lemon
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 4 to 5 strips shaved pecorino or Parmigiano-Reggiano

1. Clean and trim the asparagus; remove the tough ends and the tips (you can parboil and save the tips for another dish).
2. With a potato peeler, shave each stem, turning to allow for maximum shaving.
3. Place the shavings into a serving bowl.
4. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest and juice and a dash of salt and pepper in a small bowl; dress the shavings with the mixture.
5. Layer with the cheese and serve.
