This salad is fresh, tangy, a little bit sweet, and makes a nice side dish for steak, fish, chicken, or pork.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 pound fresh asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- 2 ounces goat cheese, cubed
Directions
Step 1
Bring balsamic vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Boil for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Step 2
Bring a separate pot of water to a boil and cook asparagus for 3 minutes. Drain in a colander and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Shake off excess moisture.
Step 3
Combine asparagus and grape tomatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle dressing over the top and toss until evenly coated. Add goat cheese and toss again. Serve immediately.
Cook’s Note:
If you are making this ahead of time, you will want to wait until just before serving to add the goat cheese, so that it doesn't discolor from the balsamic vinegar.
