Ingredients:
For the asparagus:
1 bunch asparagus spears, rinsed and the woody ends cut
2 tsps vegetable oil
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper
For the Lemon Vinaigrette:
¼ cup olive oil
3 tbsps lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
For the salad:
1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
½ cup radishes, thinly sliced
3 scallions, stalks – chopped
½ cup kalamata olives,
½ cup feta cheese, cut into cubes or crumbled or grated parmesan cheese
½ cup basil leaves, loosely packed and torn
Directions::
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place asparagus on a sheet pan in one layer. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Give it a toss, making sure that all the spears are coated with the oil and seasoning.
Roast for 12 minutes or until the asparagus is cooked*. Transfer onto a plate and let asparagus cool. When cooled, cut the asparagus into 2-inch pieces. Place into a salad bowl.
While the asparagus is roasting, make the lemon vinaigrette by mixing 1/4 cup olive oil, 3 tbsps of lemon juice, 1 clove of minced garlic, 1/2 tsp of dijon mustard, 1 tsp of kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp of black pepper.
To assemble the asparagus salad: Place tomatoes, radishes, scallions, and olives into the bowl with the asparagus. Drizzle with the dressing.
Stir in the feta cheese (if using) and basil leaves. Give it a gentle toss. Serve.
