How to Make Lemon Herb Asparagus Salad

  • Toss the asparagus spears in olive oil, seasoning them generously with salt and pepper. Grill or char them on high heat until they're fork-tender, about 3-4 minutes, turning frequently for an even char.
  • Once the asparagus is beautifully charred, let them cool slightly before cutting them diagonally into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and the remaining olive oil until completely emulsified. Then, stir in the chopped shallots, lemon zest, fresh herbs, salt, and pepper.
  • In a large serving bowl, gently toss the asparagus pieces with the dressing until they’re well-coated. Finish by sprinkling crumbled feta and chopped green onions over the top.
  • Enjoy your Lemon Herb Asparagus Salad warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
