Read on for the entire Ribboned Asparagus Salad Recipe Ingredients:
1. 1 pound asparagus, rinsed
2. 1/3 cup hazelnuts, chopped, toasted and cooled
3. 1 lemon, halved
4. freshly ground black pepper
5. 3 Tbs olive oil
6. 1 to 2 oz pecorino cheese, shaved
7. sea salt Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 10 minutes.
In the mean time make the ribbons. On a flat surface lay a single stalk of asparagus on its side. Starting from the tough end, use a vegetable peeler to shave off thin ribbons from stalk to tip, peeling away from the tough end in your hand. Discard the tough end when done peeling.
Step 2
Pile the ribbons in a large bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the olive oil and lemon juice and toss.
Step 3
Using a vegetable peeler shave the cheese and add to the asparagus. Serve on a platter with a few lemon slices and top with some more hazelnuts and cheese.
