Ingredients
12 large asparagus spears, trimmed and peeled ¼ cup manchego cheese, grated plus a piece for shaving ¼ cup hazelnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped 2 lemons, juiced and zest ½ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, coarsely chopped Salt and pepper to taste Preparation Combine lemon juice, zest, manchego and parsley in a small mixing bowl and slowly whisk in the olive oil until well blended. Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside. Working with one asparagus spear at a time, use a vegetable peeler to shave spears into long, thin shavings.
