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".

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest asparagus possible. Look for spears that are bright green, firm, and have tightly closed tips.
  • Trim the asparagus spears before cooking. Snap off the woody ends of the spears, or use a sharp knife to cut them off.
  • Cook the asparagus spears until they are tender-crisp. You can do this by steaming, roasting, grilling, or sautéing them.
  • Use a variety of cooking methods to create different flavors and textures. For example, you could roast the asparagus spears for a smoky flavor, or sauté them with garlic and olive oil for a more savory flavor.
  • Add other vegetables or ingredients to your asparagus salad for a more complex flavor. Some good options include red onion, avocado, tomatoes, and cheese.
  • Dress your asparagus salad with a vinaigrette or other dressing of your choice. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey is a good option.

Conclusion:

Asparagus salad is a delicious and healthy dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. It is a great way to use up fresh asparagus, and it is also very versatile. You can add other vegetables or ingredients to your salad to create different flavors and textures, and you can dress it with a variety of dressings.
