SHAVED ASPARAGUS WITH ARUGULA AND PARMESAN



Shaved Asparagus With Arugula and Parmesan image

You can get asparagus from Peru all winter long, and early spring asparagus from Mexico and Southern California. This is not a dish to make with those. It celebrates your local, regional asparagus, whenever it shows up in your local farmers' market, after months of apples, potatoes and sturdy greens. Simply shaved, then dressed with oil and paired with arugula and Parmesan, it makes for a spring salad of enormous satisfaction.

1/2 pound large or medium asparagus
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 tablespoons fruity extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
6 ounces arugula, washed and dried

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 8-ounce piece ciabatta with crust (preferably day-old)
1 large garlic clove, peeled
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 ounces arugula (preferably wild; about 10 cups packed)
2 tablespoons (or more) fresh lemon juice
3 ounces Parmesan cheese, shaved into strips with vegetable peeler

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Rub crust of bread with garlic clove. Tear bread into 1-inch pieces and place in large bowl; toss with 1/4 cup olive oil. Sprinkle bread lightly with salt; arrange in single layer on rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden and crisp around edges, about 10 minutes. Cool. DO AHEAD: Can be made 4 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
  • Place arugula in large bowl. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons lemon juice, adding more lemon juice, if desired. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add 2/3 of croutons and half of Parmesan cheese and toss. Transfer to serving bowl; scatter remaining croutons and Parmesan cheese over and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, young arugula with bright green leaves and no signs of wilting.
  • Wash the arugula thoroughly and dry it well before using.
  • Use a light hand when dressing the arugula, as too much dressing can overwhelm the delicate flavor.
  • Add the cheese and nuts just before serving to prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Store leftover arugula salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Arugula salad with Parmesan is a simple but delicious salad that is perfect for any occasion. With its peppery flavor and crunchy texture, arugula is a great choice for a salad base. Parmesan cheese adds a salty, nutty flavor, while the lemon dressing brings a bright, acidic note. This salad is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy and satisfying meal.
