Shaved Asparagus Salad

We rarely eat raw asparagus and it is a real treat. Here the dressing acts to soften the crunch just a bit, while the hazelnuts and lemon zest add quite a bit of interest. This is a place to use your pickled shallots. Search for the fattest asparagus you can find, it will make the shaving much easier.
