Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

160 grams (4 or 5) thick asparagus spears
1 avocado, halved, pitted, and peeled
16 fresh mint leaves, chopped
1/2 lime
20 grams (about 2 tablespoons) extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch of fine sea salt per serving

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.

This salad is delicious! The asparagus is cooked perfectly and the avocado is creamy and rich. The dressing is a bit tangy, but it's not too overpowering.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I usually have some leftover after making asparagus soup and this is a great way to use it up.
