Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook the Asparagus: Choose your preferred cooking method for the asparagus. If grilling, preheat the grill to medium heat. Toss the trimmed asparagus with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill for about 5–7 minutes until charred and tender. For blanching, bring salted water to boil, add asparagus for 2–3 minutes, then plunge into ice water.
  2. Prepare the Dressing: While the asparagus cools, whisk together equal parts extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice, followed by a teaspoon of Dijon mustard and minced shallots. Season with salt and black pepper, then add chopped fresh herbs.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, toss the cooked asparagus with the dressing, crumbling in the feta and adding fresh herbs.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Your salad is ready! Enjoy immediately while asparagus is still warm, paired with grilled meats or as a stand-alone dish.
