Hot Asparagus and Tomato Salad

By , About.com Guide

My favorite way to cook asparagus is on the grill. It helps to bring out the flavor. Be careful not to over cook it though, you want the asparagus to still have a little crunch.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
  • 6 tomatoes, ripe and halved
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Preheat grill. In a shallow baking dish, toss asparagus with the olive oil and some salt and pepper. Remove from dish and place on grill. Dip the cut side of the tomatoes in remaining olive oil. Let the asparagus grill for 2-3 minutes then add the tomatoes, cut side down. Grill until tender. In a small bowl combine balsamic vinegar, garlic, mustard, and remaining olive oil from the baking dish. Blend well. Drizzle over grilled vegetables and serve.
