SHAVED ASPARAGUS AND RADISH SALAD
An easy salad to put together, this is a celebration of the first asparagus of the season, which is sweet enough to eat raw. Omit the anchovy in the dressing if you wish, but it's there to provide a boost of flavor, not to taste fishy. Any type of radish will work but, for a really vibrant salad, look for the many colorful varieties of daikon radish available at many farmers' markets.

Steps:
- 1 Cut away about 2 inches of the base of each asparagus spear. With a vegetable peeler, shave the entire asparagus from bottom to top, reversing your grip and rotating as necessary to shave as much as possible. Don't rush it; be deliberate for the greatest precision.
- 2 Divide the asparagus strips among 4 salad plates. Cut each avocado half into 4 sections and place 2 wedges on each salad. Sprinkle with the mint leaves. Squeeze lime juice over the salads, drizzle evenly with the oil, and sprinkle with salt.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp vegetables. Look for radishes that are firm and bright red, avocados that are ripe but not mushy, and asparagus that is green and tender.
- If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the radishes and asparagus.
- To prevent the avocado from browning, toss it with a little lemon juice or vinegar.
- You can add other vegetables to this salad, such as cucumber, bell pepper, or carrots.
- For a more flavorful dressing, try using a balsamic vinaigrette or a honey mustard dressing.
- This salad is best served fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

This radish, avocado, and asparagus salad is a refreshing and delicious side dish that is perfect for spring and summer.
