Start by washing your fresh asparagus thoroughly. Snap off the woody ends by bending the stalk until it naturally breaks.
For added tenderness and vibrant color, bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the asparagus for 2-3 minutes. This step is optional.
In a large bowl, combine the asparagus, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and sliced black olives. Toss gently to mix.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Pour this dressing over your salad mix and toss.
Finish off your salad by sprinkling crumbled feta cheese on top.
