Shaved Asparagus Salad with Truffle Vinaigrette

Raw asparagus and mâche give this salad a crisp bite and a spring vibe. Along those lines, chef Vitaly Paley, of Paley's Place in Portland, Oregon, sometimes swaps thinly sliced raw artichoke hearts for the asparagus to deliver a similar mild, fresh crunch.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
¼ cup white truffle oil (see Tips)
4 thick asparagus spears, trimmed
4 cups mâche or baby spinach
1 head endive, trimmed, leaves separated
4 radishes, thinly sliced
1 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
¾ cup shaved Parmesan cheese
1 fresh white truffle, shaved (optional; see Tips)

Directions

Whisk lemon juice, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk in truffle oil.
Shave asparagus into long strips using a vegetable peeler; thinly slice what can't be shaved. Add the asparagus, mâche (or spinach), endive, radishes and parsley to the dressing; toss to combine. Transfer to a platter. Sprinkle with Parmesan and garnish with shaved truffle, if desired.

Tips

Tips: Truffle oil is best used at room temperature or slightly warm for the best flavor. Find it at well-stocked grocery stores and specialty markets.

To shave fresh truffles, use a truffle slicer, a mandoline or a vegetable peeler.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
