Description

Ingredients

• 1 bunch of asparagus, fibrous ends removed, and sliced in half lengthwise*
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 hot house cucumber
• 2 loosely packed cups arugula
• A few tablespoon of feta cheese (more or less to taste)
• For the dressing:
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• ½ cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon finely minced shallot (plus a little extra for topping)
• Salt and pepper

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, prep your asparagus, and lay them out on a parchment paper lined baking sheet
• Drizzle with a tiny bit of olive oil (about a teaspoon), sprinkle with salt and pepper, and top with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
• Toss to combine, and roast in your oven for 5 minutes. Remove and let cool
• Meanwhile, make your cucumber ribbons. Using a vegetable peeler, peel your cucumber into ribbons - long thin slices. You will end up being able to do this on 4 sides of your cucumber - stop right before you get to the seeds
• To make your dressing, whisk all ingredients together (lemon juice, olive oil, dijon mustard, shallot) and season to taste with salt and pepper
• To assemble your salad, start with the arugula. On top of the arugula, arrange your cucumber ribbons and roasted asparagus. Add a little extra minced shallot on top (optional) and sprinkle on your feta cheese. Another optional topping is a little bit of cracked black pepper
• Dress the salad to taste and youre ready to go!
• Notes:
• *You dont NEED to slice the asparagus in half - it just looks more pretty/dainty and makes it easier to eat.
• *This dressing recipe made more than I needed, but I know some people really like to dress their salads more than I do - so dont just dump all of the dressing on there, because it might be too much for you too! You can always save the rest for later*
