Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and trim the asparagus by snapping off the woody ends. Cut into 2-inch pieces.
Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them into thick slices.
Arrange the asparagus and mushrooms on a baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Greek yogurt, honey, garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Once the asparagus and mushrooms are done roasting, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted asparagus and mushrooms with the creamy mustard dressing, gently tossing to coat.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter and garnish with toasted almonds for added crunch, if desired.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
