I just made this fabulously awesome salad that I got from Chef Anne Burrell on foodnetwork.com. I saw her make it on the show, Secrets of a Restaurant Chef. It is so good, I just had to share it.

Ingredients For asparagus, pecorino and red onion salad

  • 1
    bunch pencil-thin asparagus
  • 1 sm
    red onion, finely diced
  • 1 c
    coarsely grated aged pecorino cheese
  • 1/2 c
    red wine vinegar
  • extra-virgin olive oil

How To Make asparagus, pecorino and red onion salad

  • 1
    Break the woody tips off the asparagus, and thinly slice it, including tips, crosswise into pieces about the size of peas.
  • 2
    Place the asparagus in a medium bowl. Add the red onion and pecorino cheese and toss to combine.
  • 3
    Dress the with vinegar, olive oil to your taste, and kosher salt; then toss again. This salad should be fairly heavily dressed. The vinegar will sort of "cook" or tenderize the asparagus.
  • This was not too expensive - I got it at Walmart, about $8.50/pound; and I only bought 1/2 a pound.
    4
    It is best to do this about an hour or so in advance to let the flavors "marry".
