Asparagus & Arugula Salad with Lemon Dressing
- 1/4 cup olive oil

- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt or coarse salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound fresh asparagus spears

Clean and trim asparagus; coat lightly with the 2 tablespoon oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, set aside. Meanwhile, clean arugula or spinach and remove excess stems; dry. Set aside.
For a charcoal grill, grill asparagus crosswise on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 4 to 6 minutes or until crisp-tender, turning spears occasionally.

While asparagus is warm, toss with arugula and dressing (this will wilt the arugula). Divide among 4 dinner plates and top with Parmesan curls. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.
