There's not much to say about this one. The other week's Shaved Asparagus Pizza inspired me to incorporate my leftover shaved asparagus into a salad. I also had carrots on hand, so I thought "why not give them a little shave, too?" I then piled the ribbons over top a handful of lettuce, drizzled with a quick citrusy homemade dressing and served it along side our dinner. I loved having a new green leafy option. In other words, it definitely beat grabbing a handful of salad mix from the bag and dowsing with bottled Ranch. Just sayin'... 🙂
