Ingredients

Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

1 pound medium asparagus, trimmed

1 small shallot, chopped

1 to 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar

2 to 3 tablespoons garlic-infused extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 pound chunk Parmesan

Directions

  1. Over moderately high heat, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the asparagus to a bowl of ice water. Drain, pat dry and chop into 1/2-inch pieces.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss together the asparagus, shallots and vinegar. Drizzle the oil on top of the asparagus. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the Parmesan to measure 1/3 cup. Toss the cheese with the asparagus and season with salt and pepper.

I made this ahead and although the flavor was great the night I prepared it, taking it to work the next day for a potluck, proved that it should not be made ahead for best flavor. I would agree, that the parm cheese could be left out. Would definitely try again and cook the asparagus less, maybe add pinenuts for some varied flavor.
