Ingredients

  • 1 bunch asparagus washed and trimmed
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • ¼ cup fresh tarragon chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh mint chopped
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt optional
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese freshly grated

Instructions

  • Using a swivel peeler, shave each asparagus stalk into thin pieces. You won't be able to peel each stalk perfectly, so chop whatever is left with a knife. This contributes a nice mix of textures.
  • Prepare the dressing by combining the olive oil, lemon juice, fresh tarragon and mint, sea salt, and grated parmesan in a large bowl. Whisk together.
  • Add the shaved asparagus to the bowl and mix until coated. Transfer to plates, serve immediately, and enjoy!

Notes

This is best served immediately but can keep in the fridge for a day or two.
