1 lb 

 

medium asparagus

 

1/3 cup + 1 Tbsp. 

 

extra-virgin olive oil

 

½ tsp 

 

finely grated lemon zest

 

 

 

kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

 

1½ Tbs 

 

fresh lemon juice

 

1 Tbs

1

Preheat oven to 450°F. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss asparagus with 1 Tbsp. of the oil and the lemon zest and season with salt and pepper. Roast the asparagus for about 8 minutes, until just tender and the tips begin to turn brown.

2

In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice with the mustard and the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

In a large bowl, toss the lettuces with all but 2 Tbsp. of the dressing. Arrange the salad on plates and top with the roasted asparagus and cheese curls. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the asparagus and serve.
