A simple and fresh Greek asparagus salad with Mediterranean flair. Asparagus is cooked slightly but it still has a crunch. The salad is marinated so the flavors pop. Sprinkling Greek seasoning at the end brings the ingredients together and adds the final touch of Greek flavor.

How To Make greek asparagus salad

Test Kitchen Tips

We created our own Greek seasoning by combining garlic powder, oregano, dill, salt, and pepper.

Step 1

Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a medium pot. Meanwhile, lay asparagus (keep rubberband on) down, cut 1 inch off the bottom, and discard. Then, cut the remaining asparagus into 4 equal lengths.

Step 2

You should have 4 separate piles of asparagus. Add the bottom pile (thickest) to the boiling water for 30 seconds. Then, add the next thickest pile for 30 seconds. Then, the next thickest pile for 30 seconds, followed by the tips for 30 seconds.
Step 3

Drain the asparagus in a colander. Rinse under cold water and set aside to allow further draining.
Step 4

In a large bowl, mix together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, onions, and olives.
Step 5

Add the cooled asparagus and Feta cheese. Mix to coat well. Refrigerate for a few hours (24 hours is best).
Step 6

Lay tomatoes on a plate in a circular fashion. Spoon over the asparagus salad. Sprinkle the seasoning over each salad.
