Shaved Raw Asparagus with Parmesan Dressing

  • ACTIVE:
  • TOTAL TIME: 25 MIN
  • SERVINGS: 6

Asparagus often makes wine taste vegetal. To counter that, chef Mark Ladner of Manhattan's Del Posto mixes shaved spears with a supremely wine-friendly ingredient: parmesan.

Our Pairing Suggestion

Otto wine director Dan Amatuzzi loves the idea. "Cheese makes my life easier," he says. He pairs the dish with a citrusy white from the south of Italy.
