Be sure to use Percorino in this salad for a nice, creamy dressing - other cheeses won’t work as well.

shaved-asparagus-and-arugula-salad
- 1 1/2 c finely grated Pecorino Romano
- 1/2 c extra-virgin olive oil
- salt
- pepper
- 1 lb asparagus
- 4 oz arugula
Shaved Asparagus and Arugula Salad Directions
- Place the Pecorino in a large bowl. While whisking, slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup of boiling water. Then, still whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Slice the tips off the asparagus and slice each one lengthwise in half. Use a vegetable peeler to shave each asparagus stalk into long thin ribbons (you’ll need to press hard - try placing the asparagus flat and peeling that way). Place the asparagus in a large bowl and toss with several tablespoons of the dressing. Add the arugula and toss to coat. Season to taste with more salt and pepper as needed.
