Shaved asparagus and fresh porcini salad with Parmigiano Reggiano

Recipe Overview

Asparagus & Porcini Salad is a refined expression of Italian restraint. Jumbo asparagus and fresh porcini are shaved thin so their textures remain delicate, the olive oil coats rather than dominates, and Parmigiano Reggiano brings a savory aged finish. The result is raw, seasonal, aromatic and precise.

Why This Page Matters

This recipe now uses the current Salad master architecture: Menu Builder metadata, exact ingredient identities, live inventory mapping, serving scaling, labor records, Salad Station production metadata, shared Ingredient Library icon synchronization and master search.

Connected Experience

The same ingredient code, inventory ID, icon and ingredient-page identity are reused across the visible recipe, tc-inventory-map and tc-ingredients so production, purchasing, receiving and dashboard systems resolve one consistent ingredient record.

Ingredients

Base recipe = 2 servings. Minimum production = 2 servings.

Preparation

Minimum production timing: 10 active prep min · 2 passive min · 0 cook min · 3 plating min · 3 cleanup min.
  1. Shave the asparagus from base to tip with a peeler and place it into a chilled mixing bowl.
  2. Thinly shave the fresh porcini and add them to the asparagus. Season lightly with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, then let the vegetables rest for a moment so they release a little natural moisture.
  3. Dress with D.O.P. extra-virgin olive oil, fold in the shaved Parmigiano Reggiano, and serve chilled or at cool room temperature.

Ready for Menu Builder and Salad Station Production

This raw composed salad is registered for Menu Builder visibility, Salad Station production, serving-scale inventory quantities and labor calculation. Keep asparagus and porcini chilled and dry, then shave, season, dress and plate close to service for the best texture and aroma.

Chef Notes

Keep the shaving delicate and the seasoning restrained. The success of this salad depends on pristine fresh porcini, crisp asparagus and a light hand with the olive oil so the mushroom aroma and Parmigiano character remain sharp and elegant.

Production & Service

  • Clean porcini carefully and avoid soaking them in water.
  • Stage shaved Parmigiano, oil, salt and pepper separately.
  • Assemble and dress to order; serve chilled or at cool room temperature.
