Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 8 minutes

Serves: 4

Method

  1. 1 Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.
  2. 2 Spread the asparagus out on a lined baking tray and drizzle with the olive oil, then sprinkle with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss the asparagus in the oil to coat and spread the asparagus out on the tray.
  3. 3 Roast for 8 minutes (thicker stems may need slightly longer) or until the asparagus is lightly browned.
  4. 4 Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
  5. 5 Once cooled, transfer to a chopping board and cut into 1-inch pieces.
  6. 6 Place the asparagus, red onion and tomatoes in a large mixing bowl.
  7. 7 To prepare the dressing, combine all ingredients in a clean jam jar and shake until emulsified. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
  8. 8 Add the feta cheese and gently stir to combine.
  9. 9 Leave to sit for 30 minutes before serving.
  10. 10 If serving later, refrigerate. Serve as a side dish or as a light summery meal with some crusty bread.
