Servings: 4

Ingredients

Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup, grated
Fresh basil
1/4 cup, finely chopped
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup
Olive oil
1/2 cup, plus extra for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

  3. Grill the asparagus for 3-4 minutes per side, until tender and lightly charred. Remove from the grill and let it cool slightly.
  4. Cut the grilled asparagus into bite-sized pieces and place them back in the bowl.

  6. To make the vinaigrette, in a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
  7. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad, and toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
  8. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and black pepper to taste.
  9. Serve the Grilled Asparagus and Tomato Salad immediately, with an extra drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
