Shaved Asparagus Salad

By Stacey Freeman Leave a Comment

shaved-asparagus-salad-00If you look back at my recipes, you’d probably think I only eat baked-goods. Seriously. I have a problem. But seriously, I eat a lot of vegetables too. They just usually aren’t as interesting to blog about. I changed my mind when I made this shaved asparagus salad the other day.

shaved-asparagus-salad-00Per usual, my farmer’s market boasted the most glorious produce and spring is prime asparagus time. (Yes, I meant to rhyme. Ha.) I adapted this recipe so I could incorporate the fresh garlic that I also got at the farmer’s market. I swapped in a few other items that I had on hand, and it worked. This is probably my new favorite salad.

shaved-asparagus-salad-04shaved-asparagus-salad-05shaved-asparagus-salad-06I’d never had raw asparagus before, but I think it’s perfect for a salad because it holds up so well. I made this early afternoon and ate it for dinner and it only got better with time.

Do you have a favorite veggie recipe? I’m always looking for new ways to incorporate more veggies, so leave me a comment!

Shaved Asparagus Salad

shaved-asparagus-salad-07Ingredients:

Finely grated zest of 1/2 medium lemon

2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 1/2 lemon)

2 teaspoons white wine vinegar

1 clove of fresh garlic, minced

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

¼ cup of sliced almonds, divided

1 pound thick asparagus spears, tough bottoms removed

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

¼ cup packed grated Parmesan cheese, plus shaved pieces for serving

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves

Directions:

Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, vinegar, minced garlic, and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Let sit for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, toast the almonds in a medium frying pan over medium heat, stirring often, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove to a small bowl to cool.

Using a vegetable peeler, thinly slice the asparagus lengthwise into strips and place in a large bowl. (If you have trouble peeling the final portion of an asparagus spear, prop the spear up on the flat handle of a spatula or spoon. This will raise it just high enough to allow the peeler to move freely.)

Whisk the olive oil into the lemon-vinegar mixture in a thin and steady stream. Taste and season the dressing with salt and pepper, as needed.

Add ¾ of the cooled almonds, dressing, grated parmesan, and parsley to the asparagus and toss to combine. Serve topped with parmesan cheese slices and the remaining almonds.

March! I cannot believe it’s already March 1st, March! I cannot believe it’s already March 1st, and I can’t believe we are at the one year mark of this quarantine life. I honestly miss dressing up for work, like this, so lately I’ve been dressing up in my living room for my zoom work calls. 
.
Honestly, it’s so nice to feel some normalcy, even if there’s no need to be quite so dressed up. The way you dress definitely affects the way you feel, and this monochromatic look makes me feel happy and ready for spring.

I met Meaghan two years ago at the @beachesresorts SMOTS conference and I was drawn to her positivity, radiant energy, and could totally relate to her “working mom who wants to have it all” mentality.

You can get yours on Amazon, at Barnes and Nobel, or other book retailers near you. Congrats Meaghan! ⚡️⚡️
