White Asparagus With Proscuitto and Cucumber

Instead of the traditional melon and proscuitto, try white asparagus and cucumber. If you buy fresh asparagus, blanch for 30 seconds and drop into ice water to stop cooking process. Do not overcook. You want the asparagus be crispy, not soft.


Ingredients

White Asparagus Spears
Italian cured proscuitto, thinly sliced
Cucumber, thinly sliced
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Balsamic Vinegar
White pepper

Directions Per Serving

Arrange a few slices of fresh cucumber on a serving plate. Season six blanched asparagus spears with white pepper. Wrap one slice of proscuitto around each spear, place on cucumber slices and drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
