Ratings and Reviews

“Tried this recipe in the proctor mm and loved it. have made it many times since then as written with prosciutto, with no prosciutto, with speck, and finally jamón. all very good. will be very sorry for asparagus season to end. my asparagus peeling technique did vary after the first time. my second through ? times i did not break off the ends of the asparagus but left them on to provide a better hold on the stalk. great salad, was even the meal one evening.”
