Greek-style Grilled Asparagus Salad with Tomatoes and Feta

Grilled asparagus, cherry tomatoes, feta, and fresh dill in a lemon dressing. It tastes like spring on a Greek island (I’ve been!. One bunch of asparagus, trimmed and tossed with olive oil, grilled for about five minutes until charred and tender. Tossed warm with halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta, thinly sliced red onion, and a dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, and chopped fresh dill. It’s soooooooo easy and so good.

Dress the asparagus while it is still warm from the grill. Warm spears absorb the lemon dressing better than cold ones. The feta softens on contact. The tomatoes stay raw and burst with juice when you bite them.

Tips for Making Greek-style Grilled Asparagus Salad with Tomatoes and Feta

Grill until charred but still firm

Five minutes over medium-high heat, turning occasionally. The asparagus should have dark spots and be tender when pierced but not limp.

Over-grilled asparagus is mushy and falls apart when tossed with the other ingredients.

Dress while warm

Toss the grilled asparagus with the tomatoes, feta, onion, and dressing while the asparagus is still warm. Warm vegetables absorb dressing and the flavours meld faster.

Serve immediately or at room temperature. This salad does not improve by sitting.
