By MCFM Nutrition Interns
Ingredients
- Juice from 1 lemon
- 1 ½ Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 pound medium to thick asparagus spears, tough ends removed and spears shaved into ribbons
- *Grated Fresiago cheese from Shepherd’s Way Farm (or any other hard cheese), optional
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, oil, vinegar, mustard and salt. Place asparagus ribbons in a medium bowl. Add dressing and toss until asparagus is evenly coated. Sprinkle grated cheese on top, if desired.
*Option not included in nutrition facts.
Tip: When shaving the asparagus into ribbons, hold each spear from the bottom and peel up toward the tip. As the spear gets thinner, place it on the edge of a cutting board to finish the ribbon. If any asparagus tips fall off, add them to the bowl with the ribbons.
