Steps:
- Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat (350° to 450°F) and preheat the grill pan. In a small bowl whisk the mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Slowly drizzle and whisk in the oil until it is emulsified. Remove and discard the tough bottom of each asparagus spear by grasping at each end and bending it gently until it snaps at its natural point of tenderness, usually about two-thirds of the way down the spear. Spread the asparagus on a large plate. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette and turn the spears until they are evenly coated. In a medium bowl toss the tomatoes and bread cubes with 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette. Brush the cooking grates clean. Spread the tomatoes and bread cubes in a single layer on the grill pan and lay the asparagus on the cooking grate. Grill over direct medium heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until the asparagus is tender, the tomatoes begin to soften, and the bread cubes are toasted, turning often. The asparagus will take 6 to 8 minutes and the tomatoes and bread cubes will take 2 to 4 minutes. Arrange the asparagus on a platter and top with the tomatoes, croutons, feta, and chives. Serve with the remaining vinaigrette.

ASPARAGUS & TOMATO SALAD WITH FETA RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- Mix all ingredients for vinaigrette and refrigerate until serving. Clean asparagus - toss asparagus, bread cubes and tomatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper. Grill or roast until browned. Arrange on platter and top with vinaigrette, feta and chives.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, ripe ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your salad. Look for firm, brightly colored asparagus, ripe tomatoes, and creamy feta cheese.
- Blanch the asparagus: Blanching the asparagus helps to preserve its bright green color and crisp texture. To blanch asparagus, simply bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the asparagus, and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Immediately remove the asparagus from the boiling water and plunge it into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a variety of tomatoes: For a more complex flavor, use a variety of tomatoes, such as cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, or heirloom tomatoes.
- Make a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what brings all the flavors of the salad together. Use a simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper, or try a more complex dressing with ingredients like lemon juice, honey, or herbs.
- Don't overcrowd the salad: When assembling the salad, don't overcrowd the bowl. This will help to ensure that each ingredient has a chance to shine.
Conclusion:
Asparagus and tomato salad with feta is a refreshing, flavorful, and healthy salad that is perfect for a summer meal.
