Asparagus and Mushroom Salad

1 pound asparagus
1/2 pound mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley and chives
1 cup arugula
2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (to taste)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 small garlic clove, minced or pureed
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 ounce slivered Parmesan
Steam the asparagus for three to five minutes, depending on how thick the stalks are. It should
be tender but still have some bite. Rinse with cold water, and drain for a minute on a kitchen
towel. Cut into 1-inch lengths. Place in a salad bowl, and toss with the mushrooms, herbs and
arugula.
Whisk together the lemon juice, salt and pepper, garlic and olive oil. Toss with the asparagus
mixture and the slivered Parmesan, and serve.
