We’re making one of the easiest meals today – a No cook Shaved Asparagus with Parmesan & Lemon dressing.

A few weeks ago I walked into my local Loblaws to pick up some groceries and there was a kiosk sampling a very fresh looking Asparagus Salad. I LOVVVE asparagus, as you must know by now, but I had no idea that you could eat it raw. I tried it and loved it, got my co-worker to eat it too and took a recipe print out home.

The lady that sampled the salad said that they used a vegetable peeler to shave the Asparagus. I found this to be very time consuming so used a sharp knife instead. Be careful with the Lemon in this dressing as some lemons tend to be very tart. If your dressing got tarter that you anticipated, you can tone it down with some sugar or some honey.
