Greek Asparagus Ribbon Salad
With Fresh Parsley, Kalamata Olives and Feta
Ingredients
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1/4 cup Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
- Fresh Ground Pepper to taste
- 1 pound Asparagus
- 1/2 cup flat leaf parsley leaves
- feta and kalamata olive to garnish
Instructions
- For the dressing, combine the garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, basil, sugar, salt and pepper in a jar with a lid. Shake to mix the dressing. Set to the side.
- To prepare the asparagus, cut off the tip. Cut the tips in half. Holding the bottom of the asparagus with two hands, break the spear. Discard tough smaller end. With a vegetable peeler, peel long ribbons off the stalk. You won’t be able to peel the entire spear. With the thicker part, cut diagonally into thin strips.
- Add the parsley and toss with the dressing. Place on platter. Sprinkle with the feta cheese and garnish with the olives.
