Spring is the time for fresh, tender asparagus. Today I’m adding them to fresh tomatoes with feta cheese. I am sauteing the asparagus in a little olive oil just a little bit, but you can steam, grill, or roast if you prefer. The goal is to limit the cooking so the result is bright green, tender asparagus, not over-cooked soft asparagus.

Savory Salad with Grilled Asparagus
Asparagus, fresh and green, means spring to me. I’m always happy when I see spring asparagus in the market. Today’s treat is an asparagus salad with a lemon vinaigrette. Start with the freshest asparagus you can find. Grill after tossing with a little olive oil and salt and pepper. Add spring baby lettuce, tomatoes, a little cheese, and even mushrooms if you’re in the mood.
