Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams asparagus spears
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes
- 100 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears and toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove, a pinch of salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
Place the asparagus spears on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they're slightly charred and tender. Remove and let cool slightly.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and place them in a large salad bowl.
For the vinaigrette, whisk together the lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl until emulsified.
Cut the grilled asparagus spears into bite-sized pieces and add them to the bowl with the cherry tomatoes.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss gently to combine.
Top the salad with crumbled feta cheese and sprinkle fresh chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately as a side dish or light main course.
