Shaved Asparagus with Parmesan Vinaigrette

This elegant shaved asparagus salad is a wonderful way to celebrate the arrival of British asparagus season. By peeling the spears into delicate, paper-thin ribbons, you reveal a crisp texture and a sweet, nutty flavour that is often lost when the vegetable is cooked. It is a light and sophisticated vegetarian dish that brings a vibrant touch of green to the table, making it an ideal choice for a spring lunch or a refined dinner party starter.

The simple yet punchy Parmesan vinaigrette provides the perfect balance of richness and acidity, cutting through the freshness of the raw spears. Packed with vitamin K and antioxidants, this healthy salad is as nutritious as it is beautiful. Serve it alongside some crusty sourdough or as a side to grilled fish for a truly seasonal meal.

Ingredients for Shaved Asparagus with Parmesan Vinaigrette

  • 12 large asparagus spears (about 450g ), trimmed and peeled

  • 40g finely grated Parmesan plus a piece for shaving

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 60ml extra-virgin olive oil

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Working with 1 asparagus spear at a time, use a vegetable peeler to shave spears into long, thin shavings. Transfer to a medium bowl (the tips will snap off as spears get thinner; add to bowl). Combine grated Parmesan and lemon juice in a small bowl and slowly whisk in oil until well blended. Season vinaigrette generously with salt and pepper. Drizzle vinaigrette over shaved asparagus and toss to coat. Divide asparagus salad among plates. Use peeler to shave more Parmesan over salad.
