Canal House Shaved Asparagus & Arugula Salad | Roxbury Farm CSA
Description
then finally tossing with arugula. I love serving this salad over pizza dough baked with olive oil and salt, though a simple bruschetta is nice, too.
Ingreadient :
- 1 1/2 cups (4 3/4 ounces) finely grated Pecorino Romano
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 pound fat asparagus
- 8 cups (4 ounces) arugula
Direction :
- For the dressing: Place the cheese in a large bowl. Gradually add 1/2 cup of boiling water, whisking constantly. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly. Taste. Season with salt and pepper.
- For the salad, lay the spears flat on a cutting board and trim off the woody ends with a sharp knife. Using a vegetable peeler and pressing hard, shave each spear into long, thin ribbons. (If necessary, cut the final layer of each stalk into thin strips—it might be thicker than the other ribbons, which is just fine.) Trim off each tip and cut lengthwise in half. Toss the asparagus pieces with several tablespoons of the dressing. Add arugula and toss again. Season with more salt and pepper if necessary.
