Directions

  • Trim the woody ends off 6-8 thick asparagus spears and toss them with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
  • Preheat your grill to high heat. Grill the asparagus for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are fork-tender and have a nice char.
  • Once grilled, let the asparagus cool slightly before cutting them diagonally into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Gradually add another 3 tablespoons of olive oil while whisking, until emulsified. Stir in minced shallots, lemon zest, fresh herbs, salt, and pepper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the chopped asparagus with the dressing until they are lovingly coated.
  • Gently fold in crumbled feta cheese and sliced green onions on top. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
