Ingredients

12 large asparagus spears, about 1 pound, trimmed and peeled

1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan plus a piece for shaving

1-1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

salt and pepper

Preparation

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 evenly among plates. Use peeler to shave more cheese over salad.
