I am on an asparagus roll and this roasted asparagus salad is helping me indulge. You should too.
I am not going to bore you with how fab asparagus is. You know this already. I will just say that the nutmegy sweet roasted asparagus melds perfectly with the grapes in this salad. Topped with roasted onions and Parmesan well, you got the goods right there.
This is a very flexible salad and the quantities I give below are a guideline only. If you like or have more of one thing then simply throw in more.
So make the most of the asparagus season with an asparagus frittata or this super easy asparagus salad and please let me know what variations you have in yours!
