Shaved Asparagus Salad

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch of asparagus
  • shaved Parmesan cheese
  • 1-2 Tbsp. sesame seeds toasted
  • 1/3 cup toasted almonds baby spinach optional
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1/3 c. Olive oil salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the asparagus. Using a vegetable peeler, thinly slice down the length of each asparagus spear getting as many strips as possible from each spear. Save the remainder of asparagus that you couldn't shave for other dishes. Mix together the oil and lemon juice and whisk until it has formed an emulsion. Salt and pepper to taste.
  2. To put together the salad, make a bed of spinach leaves on each plate. Mix the shaved asparagus with the dressing. Add in the sesame seeds. Put the asparagus on top of the spinach and then top with some Parmesan cheese and toasted almonds.
