Watch as A&M tackle the key technique to this week's spring vegetable winner: Shaved Asparagus and Mint Salad. Tedious? A tad -- but less so (we promise!) if you watch this video.
This week's video was once again shot and edited by filmmaker Elena Parker.

Could you cut the spears in half and then use a mandoline to slice them?
I have never heard of shaved asparagus and I'm completely intrigued. I have some fresh spears just waiting in the fridge to be prepared within the next couple of days - so this recipe is a must. Thanks for the tip!
I love those shaved pieces of asparagus - so beautiful. I might try this soon since my daughter is a major fan of asparagus - she'd probably like the different texture for a change.
Thanks so much! I tried to shave asparagus the other day & it was, frankly, a disaster. Maybe next time I'll do a little better...
