Sometimes a fresh asparagus salad is all you need. It’s when simplicity becomes perfection. For me, this Fresh Greens with Asparagus Ribbons, Peas, and Goat Cheese embodies all that I love in spring.
Choose a thick, hearty bundle of fresh-to-the-market asparagus. Using a vegetable peeler, you’ll create beautiful, paper-thin ribbons which you’ll saute in a skillet for no more than a minute.
It’s quick, it’s lovely… and it’s delicious.
