Asparagus, peas, and cucumber "cacio e pepe" [salad] from Salad Freak: Recipes to Feed a Healthy Obsession (page 94) by Jess Damuck

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute English cucumbers or zucchini noodles for Persian cucumbers, and can use fresh or frozen peas.

    Served on top of chicken with brown rice - a real winner! As noted by others, the prep was a bit more involved (shaving asparagus and boiling peas), but it was worth it in the end.

    Most of the salads in this book prep quickly. This one takes a little more time. The flavor profile is similar to a Caesar salad but without the egg/anchovy. The shaved and broiled asparagus is a winner! Tip: set spear along edge of cutting board to maximize shave-able area; save any stubs for another use like soup. Also threw extra cucumber pieces into a water pitcher.
