This Fresh recipe has been extracted from the Yates Garden Fresh Cookbook published by HarperCollins.
This is a salad for a warm spring day. Shaved smoked ham is a good substitute if prosciutto is not available.
Ingredients:
- At least 16 asparagus spears, trimmed
- 8 slices prosciutto
- 8 Tbsp olive oil
- Juice of 2 lemons
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 4 sprigs lemon thyme
- Shaved Parmesan or fresh goat’s milk cheese, crumbled
Method:
- Cook the asparagus in boiling water for a bare 3 minutes, then remove and plunge into iced water.
- Remove and slice the spears lengthwise into halves, and put aside.
- For the dressing, whisk together the oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper.
- Strip leaves off the thyme, chop finely and add to the oil / lemon dressing.
- Allowing two slices of prosciutto per serving, arrange the slices prettily on an entree plate.
- Divide the asparagus between the plates, and spoon over 2- 3 tsp of the dressing.
- Garnish with cheese.
