Shaved Asparagus Salad with an Asian Inspired dressing, tossed with cabbage, peanuts and mint. A delicious vegetarian salad!I recently discovered (and now love) shaved asparagus salads and made a delicious Shaved Asparagus Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette that I topped with grilled salmon.  So yummy!  Well here’s another one I made that I loved just as much.  I love the idea of using an Asian flavored dressing for this salad.  I can’t seem to get enough of all Asian inspired salads!  The dressing for this shaved asparagus salad combines chili paste, rice vinegar and sesame oil, along with ginger, garlic, lime, and honey.

Shaved Asparagus Salad with Asian dressing

To shave the asparagus just trim the tops and tough bottoms from the stalk and peel the stalk with a good, sharp vegetable peeler.  Don’t throw out the asparagus tops, save them for another recipe or blanch them briefly and add to the salad.

If you love asparagus as much as I do, you’re gonna love this Shaved Asparagus Salad with Asian Dressing.  Give it a try and let me know what you think!
