Asparagus/Arugula Dinner Salad

It’s still asparagus season. Here’s a wonderful feature salad! The earthy freshness of shredded raw asparagus with shaved fennel and tangy arugula is what makes this salad special. The salad is dressed with a rustic honey mustard dressing and finished with shaved Parmesan and toasted almonds. 

Add a little cold smoked trout to each plate along with a nice warmed artisan roll or baguette. This is a most satisfying and light meal!
