Ingredients
- 1 asparagus washed and trimmed, bunch
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- salt freshly ground
- black pepper freshly ground
- 1 pint cherry tomato use red and yellow for more color if you can find them, cut in half
- 3/4 cup red onion sliced

Instructions
- Turn the oven on to "Broil".Spread the asparagus out on a lined baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil, then sprinkle with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss to coat and spread the asparagus out in a single layer. Roast for 6-8 minutes (depending on thickness) or until the asparagus is lightly browned, tossing once or twice. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. Once cooled, transfer to a cutting board and cut into 1-inch pieces.To prepare the vinaigrette, combine all ingredients and shake until emulsified.
- Place the cooled asparagus, red onion and cherry tomatoes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables and gently toss to combine. Add the Feta cheese and very carefully stir to combine. Let sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. If serving later, refrigerate. Best served at room temperature.Serve as a side dish or as a light meal with some good crusty bread.
