CITRUS-ROASTED ASPARAGUS
Roasting the asparagus brings out sweetness from the vegetable. Thin or thick spears can be used, although thicker spears provide a "meatier" flavor when roasted. If you're looking for a different way to prepare asparagus, the citrus peel and juices add a delicious touch to roasted asparagus -- a light, bright flavor that perks up the dish.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS AND SCALLION SALAD
In this hearty, many-textured salad, soft, roasted asparagus is tossed with chewy whole grains and crisp, sweet caramelized scallions. You can use freekeh or farro here for the grains. Both are whole-wheat kernels, but the freekeh has a slightly smoky note from being toasted, while the farro is nuttier-tasting. You can prepare the freekeh or farro ahead and let it marinate in the dressing for up to six hours, but it's best to roast the asparagus and scallions within an hour of serving. Don't use pecorino Romano here, it's too sharp. If you can't find a young pecorino, use a young manchego or even a nice Cheddar, and serve this as a light main course or a salad course to a more substantial meal.

Steps:
- Bring a small pot of heavily salted water to a boil, stir in freekeh or farro, cover, and simmer until al dente, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, and pinch salt and pepper. Drizzle in 3 tablespoons oil, whisking constantly.
- Drain freekeh and stir immediately into dressing while still warm.
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Spread asparagus and scallions over a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle liberally with oil, 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to combine, then arrange in a single layer. Roast until they start to char in spots, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly: The asparagus are best while still a little warm but not hot enough to wilt the greens.
- Toss salad greens in the bowl with freekeh and dressing until leaves are coated, and transfer to serving platter. Top with roasted asparagus and scallions, shave cheese over salad if you like, and serve.

Tips:
- Choose thin asparagus spears. Thicker spears can be tough and fibrous.
- Trim the asparagus spears before roasting. Cut off the woody ends, about 1 inch from the bottom.
- Toss the asparagus spears with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help them to brown and caramelize.
- Roast the asparagus spears at a high temperature. This will help them to cook quickly and evenly.
- Serve the roasted asparagus spears immediately. They are best when they are hot and crispy.
- For the citrus dressing, use fresh orange and lemon juice. Bottled juices will not have the same flavor.
- Taste the dressing before adding the honey. You may not need to add any honey if the oranges and lemons are sweet enough.
- Serve the roasted asparagus salad with your favorite protein. Grilled chicken, fish, or shrimp are all great options.
