Ingredients
1 lb large asparagus spears, woody ends trimmed
3 oz fresh baby arugula
1 large avocado, pitted, peeled, and chopped
1/2 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup chopped unsalted pistachios
1/4 cup olive oil, extra virgin
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
1 garlic clove, minced
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Trim the woody ends from the asparagus spears.
Using a mandoline or a vegetable peeler, shave the asparagus into thin ribbons.
In a large bowl, combine shaved asparagus and arugula.
Chop the avocado and add it to the bowl.
Add shaved Parmesan and chopped pistachios.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, champagne vinegar, honey, and minced garlic.
Season the dressing with salt and pepper.
Toss the salad with the dressing until well combined.
Serve immediately and adjust seasoning if needed.
Notes
For best results, use fresh asparagus spears that are large and tender.
If you don’t have a mandoline, use a sharp knife to thinly slice the asparagus.
Champagne vinegar can be substituted with white wine vinegar if preferred.
Serve chilled for a refreshing spring meal.
