Asparagus, Pecorino and Red Onion Salad image

I just made this fabulously awesome salad that I got from Chef Anne Burrell on foodnetwork.com. I saw her make it on the show, Secrets of a Restaurant Chef. It is so good, I just had to share it.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch pencil-thin asparagus
1 small red onion, finely diced
1 c coarsely grated aged pecorino cheese
1/2 c red wine vinegar
extra-virgin olive oil
kosher salt

Steps:

  • 1. Break the woody tips off the asparagus, and thinly slice it, including tips, crosswise into pieces about the size of peas.
  • 2. Place the asparagus in a medium bowl. Add the red onion and pecorino cheese and toss to combine.
  • 3. Dress the with vinegar, olive oil to your taste, and kosher salt; then toss again. This salad should be fairly heavily dressed. The vinegar will sort of "cook" or tenderize the asparagus.
  • 4. It is best to do this about an hour or so in advance to let the flavors "marry".

I've never been a huge fan of asparagus, but this salad changed my mind. The roasting process really brought out the flavor of the asparagus, and the dressing was light and tangy. I'll definitely be making this again.
