Shaved Asparagus Salad
To shave the asparagus , hold the tough stem in your fingers and start at the green tender part. Peel toward the head with a sharp peeler to make thin ribbons. Medium or thick asparagus works best for shaving. If walnut oil isn’t available, substitute 1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil. This dish makes for a quick and delicious light lunch. Round out the meal with toasted or grilled crusty whole-grain bread.
