In Italian, the word “crudo” refers to “raw” – you’ll often see it in reference to seafood, or beef carpaccio. For this recipe, I prepared zucchini and asparagus in the same way – very similar to a carpaccio, in fact – with thin slices, a bright vinaigrette, and shaved Pecorino. It's bright and fresh, the perfect summer appetizer or side dish! Plus, it's a great make-ahead dish for busy days.
