Notes

Choose asparagus with thick stems for this recipe. The thicker stems have a more mellow, sweeter flavor, and the pencil thin spears are nearly impossible to shave.
I recommend storing asparagus in a tall glass of water, like cut flowers. They will last longer.
Parmesan can be substituted for the pecorino, but I prefer the sharpness and saltiness of the latter.
Eat this tasty salad fresh. Leftovers don't hold up well when stored.
