Food that’s Fresh as the Roman Spring

Asparagus Salad Again Again
Rome’s food markets are overflowing with fresh spring fruits and vegetables: crispy asparagus, fresh peas that can be popped straight into your mouth, sweet sweet strawberries, huge bulbs of fennel, radishes that glow, and long, lovely fava bean pods.

So, what to eat today? Could anything be more Roman than a Fava Bean, Asparagus & Arugula Salad with Shaved Pecorino? Maybe a side of Fresh Pea Hummus scooped up on spicy radishes?
