Ingredients

12 thick asparagus spears
1 bulb fennel
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Parmigiano-Reggiano, shaved

Steps:

Using a vegetable peeler, shave the asparagus. Shave the fennel bulb on a mandoline into very thin slices. In a large bowl, toss the shaved vegetables, basil and minced walnuts in a medium bowl. Dress the salad with the oil, lemon juice and some salt and pepper. Plate, and top each with Parmigiano-Reggiano shavings, then serve.
