White asparagus raw salad


White asparagus

The asparagus patch was covered over winter to reduce weed, what a surprise to find asparagus pushed up through the soil as the cover was removed. Grown without sunlight, asparagus stays white.

I took the opportunity of these super fresh, fat asparagus to make a raw salad. Peel the outer tough skin, thinly slice asparagus using mandolin, season with salt, pepper and parmesan cheese .

Prepared this way, white asparagus is sweet, crunchy and juicy.
