Asparagus is one vegetable that has somewhat of a bad reputation. This unique vegetable has a flavor all its own which, for me, is hard to describe – it tastes like nothing else I’ve ever had. Agriculturally speaking, Asparagus is a 2-year crop meaning it takes two years in the garden to be able to harvest your efforts. For this reason, Asparagus fetches a premium price at the grocery store. In the spring when Asparagus is in season, we make sure to stock up – and to make plenty of Asparagus Salad!

Ingredients

• 24 Fresh Asparagus stalks - tough bottom stems removed, about 1 bunch of pencil sized asparagus stalks
• 1 Onion - medium, finely diced

• 1/4 cup Olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt and pepper - more or less to taste

Instructions

• Slice the asparagus, including the tips, into thin slices, and place in a medium bowl. Add the onion and Parmesan cheese. Next add the vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper and toss to combine.
• The salad should be dressed an hour or two in advance of mealtime so the vinegar can tenderize the fresh asparagus and the flavors can mingle.
• Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
