Ingredients

For salad

  • 1 bunch asparagus, shaved
  • 1 bunch radishes (8 radishes), thinly sliced
  • 1 large bulb fennel, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup raw walnuts, chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbles
  • for lemon-parsley dressing
  • zest of 1 medium lemon
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (to taste)

Optional toppings

  • Hardboiled eggs
  • Avocado slices

Directions

Make the lemon-parsley dressing by whisking all ingredients for dressing together; set aside until ready to serve.

Rinse and prepare the asparagus, radishes, fennel and red onion. Add all vegetables except asparagus to a large salad bowl.

For the asparagus, cut off the tough ends and discard. Then, run a vegetable peeler or potato peeler down the full length of each stalk of asparagus, adding these shavings to a large salad bowl. Once you get down to the center of the asparagus and it becomes difficult to peel, chop the remaining parts finely and add to the salad.

Add feta cheese and walnuts to salad bowl. Then, pour salad dressing over salad, and toss to combine. If desired, serve with hardboiled eggs and avocado slices.
