Ingredients
- 1 shallot minced, small
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- black pepper freshly cracked, to taste
- 1 asparagus bunch, thick speared
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 oz Pecorino Romano cheese wedge
- ¼ cup flat-leaf parsley optional, leaves
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.
