Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the ends of the asparagus and blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together hazelnut oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the blanched asparagus, giant white beans, and mint leaves. Tear the prosciutto into bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl. Drizzle with the hazelnut vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Shave the Pecorino Toscano cheese over the top of the salad using a vegetable peeler. Serve immediately and enjoy!
