Instructions
- Chop trimmed asparagus spears into thirds, on the diagonal.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. While water is coming to a boil, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with water and lots of ice.
- Blanch asparagus: add spears to boiling water and let cook for 1-2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove from the boiling water and transfer spears immediately into the ice bath. Let the asparagus chill in the ice water for a few minutes then remove with the slotted spoon or tongs. Transfer asparagus to a large plate lined with a clean kitchen towel to dry.
- In the meantime, prepare the rest of the salad by whisking together the dressing ingredients: lemon juice, dijon mustard, olive oil, feta, garlic, honey, pepper and sea salt.
- Grab a large bowl and gently toss together blanched asparagus spears, red onion, parsley and dressing. Serve salad with ¼ cup feta on top.
Notes
- balsamic vinaigrette
- red wine vinaigrette
- honey mustard dressing
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors continue to develop, but the asparagus may soften slightly over time.
- Swap the dressing: This salad is amazing with the lemon feta dressing, but you could also try balsamic vinaigrette, red wine vinaigrette, or even a light honey mustard dressing.
