Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 bunch asparagus (shaved into thin strips)
  • 1 cup arugula (fresh and washed)
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese (thinly shaved)
  • 1 lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 1 teaspoon honey (or agave syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Asparagus

    Using a vegetable peeler, shave the asparagus into thin strips.

    Choose young, tender asparagus for the best flavor.
  2. Mix the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper.

    Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey.
  3. Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine shaved asparagus, arugula, and parmesan cheese.

    Toss gently to avoid breaking the asparagus.
