ASPARAGUS AND TOMATO SALAD WITH FETA***** RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Asparagus and Tomato Salad with Feta***** Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by Roger829

Number Of Ingredients 11

vinaigrette
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
5 1/2 pounds asparagus
1 pint cherry tomatoes
3 slices country-style white bread, about 3 ounces total, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (you should have about 2 cups)
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

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.

FARRO SALAD WITH PEAS, ASPARAGUS, AND FETA



Farro Salad with Peas, Asparagus, and Feta image

Categories     Tomato     Vegetable     Appetizer     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     High Fiber     Feta     Spring     Summer     Sugar Snap Pea     Bon Appétit     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups semi-pearled farro
12 ounces asparagus, trimmed, cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths
1 8-ounce package sugar snap peas
12 ounces grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup chopped red onion
6 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup Sherry wine vinegar
1 7-ounce package feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Cook farro in large saucepan of boiling salted water until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain. Transfer to large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, cook asparagus and sugar snap peas in another saucepan of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain. Add to farro with tomatoes, onion, and dill. Whisk oil and vinegar in small bowl. Season dressing with salt and pepper. Add dressing and feta to salad; toss to coat and serve.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest ingredients: Look for asparagus that is firm and green, with tightly closed tips. Choose ripe tomatoes that are free of blemishes. Use high-quality feta cheese for the best flavor.
  • Prepare the asparagus properly: Trim the woody ends of the asparagus and peel the lower third of the stalks. Cut the asparagus into 2-inch pieces.
  • Cook the asparagus perfectly: For crisp-tender asparagus, blanch it for 2-3 minutes in boiling water. Remove the asparagus from the boiling water and immediately transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make the dressing in advance: The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
  • Assemble the salad just before serving: The asparagus and tomatoes will release their juices if they sit in the dressing for too long, so it's best to assemble the salad just before serving.

Conclusion:

This fresh asparagus, tomato, and feta salad is a delicious and healthy side dish or light lunch. The asparagus is crisp-tender, the tomatoes are juicy and flavorful, and the feta cheese adds a salty tang. The dressing is light and lemony, with a hint of garlic and oregano. This salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
