Ingredients

1 bunch pencil asparagus, tough bottom stems removed
1 small red onion, finely diced
1 cup coarsely grated aged pecorino
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt

Directions

Cut the asparagus, including the tips into very thin slices, crosswise and place in a medium bowl. Add the red onion and pecorino and toss to combine. Dress with the vinegar, olive oil and salt and toss again. This salad should be fairly heavily dressed. The vinegar will sort of "cook" or tenderize the asparagus.

It is best to do this about an hour or so in advance to let the flavors "marry".

Semplice!

Good Salad
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This recipe was easy and delicous but I also love red onion with asparagus from the can.. they have a much more subtle flavor... and you do not need to let the flavors blend for an hour. However the crunch of the raw asparagus was delicous! I will be using this recipe again!Read more

My new favorite
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was so easy and delicious. The recipe says this should be heavily dressed so just add the olive oil until it feels... right. I don't think you can screw it up. This will be my new "go to" salad for summer barbeques and potlucks! No mayo to go bad in the heat!! Read more

Makes a great bruschetta topping!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this the same day I saw the show! It was fantastic. It made a fabulous topping from some bruschetta topped with a... little melted parmesan cheese! This will be a new regular in my house.Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I whipped this up this morning after seeing the show. And I was so excited to be able to smell what Anne was smelling. I... love love to cook and watch the food shows non stop. My family loves that about me! I really don't need to go to cooking school. I need the sharp knives they use. Thanks Food Network and all the wonderul Chefs like Anne Burrell. You don't have to be exact on these measurements. Just a good bunch of the asparagus and cut the onion in half and ad the vinegar and oil. You have to be able to eyeball your cooking.Read more

measurements??? to be or not to be
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I am trying the recipe today for a super bowl party! But the measurements are not good enough. A bunch of asparagus ?? -... the bunch she cut up on her show is much larger than the bunch at my store. I understand this might sound silly but proportion makes a difference. also how much oil? Her recipe on TV seemed a little dry to it makes you think not very much but again it is critical to the taste and cooking of this recipe. Even if her show isn't exact about measurements, the written recipe posted on your web page needs to be.Read more
