Simple Asparagus Salad
1 lb asparagus, ends removed and cut in half or thirds
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
1/4 cup red onion, sliced very thin
Feta cheese, optional
Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
1/4 cup red onion, sliced very thin
Feta cheese, optional

Prepare an ice bath in a large mixing bowl, set aside. Bring a large stock pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Drop asparagus into hot water and cook for 1-2 minutes until bright green. Drop the cooked asparagus immediately into the ice bath. Drain and place the spears in a large bowl, toss with pine nuts, red onion and dressing. Start with half of the prepared dressing then add more if desired. Toss to coat then top with feta cheese.

1/2 cup mixed fresh herbs, I used basil, parsley, & a little thyme
