RAW ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH BREADCRUMBS, WALNUTS, AND MINT
Make this dish before you do any cooked asparagus dishes, at the start of the season when you get pristine spears. At first glance, the dish looks kind of "meh," but once you taste it, the flavor and texture blow you away. Be sure to cut the asparagus very thin.

Steps:
- Put the breadcrumbs, Parmigiano, walnuts, and lemon zest in a large bowl. Add 1 teaspoon salt, a bunch of twists of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon chile flakes. Toss to combine everything.
- Cut the asparagus on a sharp angle into very thin slices and add to the crumb mixture. Add 1/4 cup lemon juice and toss some more. Taste and dial in the flavors by adding more salt, black pepper, chile flakes, or lemon juice.
- When the flavors are bright and delicious, add the mint and 1/4 cup olive oil and toss. Taste and adjust again, and serve.

Steps:
- Cover farro with 3 inches of water in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook until farro is tender but still slightly chewy, about 25 minutes.
- Combine lemon zest and juice, oil, onion, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Drain farro and immediately toss with dressing. Let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, squeeze remaining 2 lemon halves into a large bowl of water; add rinds. Working with 1 artichoke at a time, remove all tough outer leaves. With a serrated knife, cut off top 1/2 inch; with a paring knife, trim and peel stem. Very thinly slice lengthwise. (Transfer to lemon water as you work to prevent discoloration.)
- Drain artichokes; pat dry with paper towels. Toss with farro, asparagus, mint, and dill. Serve with feta, drizzled with oil and garnished with more mint and dill.
