Ingredients

1/2 cup walnuts
1 lb asparagus tough ends trimmed
3 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove minced
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
Optional: Pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add walnuts and toast stirring for 3-4 minutes, until browned and fragrant.
Remove from heat and transfer to a cutting board. Chop roughly until they are the size of pine nuts. Set aside.
If the asparagus stalks are thick, shave the outside lightly with the vegetable peeler. Cut the stalks into thin slices at a sharp angle. Add to a large a bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Pour over the asparagus and toss to coat.
Chill for at least an hour so the flavors can meld. Sprinkle with toasted walnuts and red pepper flakes (if using) just before serving.
