La Cucina Italiana! HDF: Shaved Asparagus Salad




Bored with the every day greens and tomatoes topped with a glob of ranch dressing?  Ugh!  I would be too. That type of salad is a thing of the past.  The latest salads involve raw veggies (other than greens) that are shaved with a grater or mandolin and combined with a light vinaigrette.  Sound gross?  Why not take some flavors that are commonly combined in a cooked form and try them raw?  This recipe from Food and Wine and uses asparagus, lemon juice, and parmesan cheese.  See what you think of them in the raw form!
