Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large carrot
1 large yellow squash
1 large zucchini
8 thick asparagus, very thinly sliced on a long bias
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh chives

Steps:

  • Whisk the oil, lemon juice and smoked paprika together in a large bowl with 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
