Shaved Asparagus and Carrot Salad is an easy new way to incorporate veggies in your meals! This 2-ingredient salad is colorful, healthy, and it pairs well with so many dinners!
Using a vegetable peeler, peel the asparagus (underneath the head) and carrots into long thin strips. Save the heads of asparagus as you can eat them with the salad, too.
In a medium pot, bring water to a boil then turn off the heat. Blanch asparagus (including the heads) and carrots together for 2-3 minutes then remove and shock them in an ice bath or under cold water.
Pat dry the asparagus and carrots and place in a bowl. Toss with your favorite salad dressing and cover the bowl and place in the fridge for 2 hours.
Prior to serving, toss salad again and add sliced almonds on top.
