It's a totally new experience to eat asparagus raw, but it's delicious. Everybody who ate it wants more. last time I added some roasted pine nuts and half a avocado. Tastes great too.

This recipe is fresh and delicious. I would recommend blanching the asparagus first, because if you don't then the asparagus tends to be a little too raw. I know "crudi" means raw, but we can ignore that ; try blanching the asparagus first. It's definitely better.

Like other reviewers I blanched the asparagus for about 4 minutes before slicing on the bias. I've made this salad before without blanching the asparagus and found that I prefer blanching. This salad is very refreshing and delicious AND ITS HEALTHY!! Thx. Giada for another great one.
