Big fat finishing oil

Preparation
Step 1
Cut the asparagus, including the tips, into very thin rounds. In a medium bowl, toss the asparagus with the red onion and Pecorino.

Drizzle the salad with the vinegar (I like a very bright, acidic salad, but you can adjust the vinegar to your taste), finishing oil, and salt and toss again.
