Roast Asparagus & Cherry Tomato Salad
This May, it's National asparagus month, so it would be rude not to give this roast asparagus and cherry tomato salad a go!
Spring time means asparagus time and it’s one of those things we can really look forward to. Because fresh asparagus feels special and eating is a reminder that the warmer season is here (or should be, anyway), it’s one of those things worth waiting for. Of course it would be perfectly alright to boil it and serve it with some vinaigrette or hollandaise, but why not make it a little more special? Roasting the asparagus really brings out the flavours and makes it perfect to combine with the other ingredients. This makes for a beautiful dish that looks as great as it tastes and doesn’t take much time to prepare. Not bad, right?
Here's what you'll need...
750g fresh asparagus
250g cherry tomatoes
50g flaked almonds
100g feta cheese

2tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1tbsp extra virgin olive oil for roasting
Salt & pepper to taste
Here's how it's done...
