Asparagus and Tomato Sauté with Balsamic and Feta
We eat a lot of asparagus around here this time of year. I did a quick sauté with the asparagus spears and grape tomato halves until crisp-tender. I drizzled the top with a high quality balsamic vinegar and feta cheese crumbles. It was delicious, healthy, and paired nicely with the Spicy Roasted Chicken Drumsticks and the Basmati Rice with Garlic, Pine Nuts, and Fresh Parsley.

How to Make Asparagus and Tomato Sauté with Balsamic and Feta
Heat a large skillet with olive oil. Add the asparagus spears then cook, stirring occasionally for 4-5 minutes (longer if the asparagus is really thick – shorter if they are really thin), until crisp-tender.
Add the grape tomato halves and cook for 2 minutes. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
Place the asparagus and tomatoes on a serving plate, drizzle with good balsamic vinegar, and then top with feta cheese crumbles. Serve immediately. Enjoy.

I’d like this for dinner, and only this!
I’m loving seeing Spring-like recipes. This looks like a great side dish. Love everything about it.
Se ve riquìsimo un aspecto magnìfico amo los esparragos,abrazos.
A colourful and delicious side dish!
Yum! I have been eating so much asparagus lately. The grocery store has been stocked with good asparagus!
I just ordered 6 pounds of asparagus and a case of grape tomatoes from my restaurant supply house. I might just have to try this! How would it be without the cheese, given our newfound limitations on cholesterol?
Me too – might as well since the price is reasonable. I like the addition of the feta and tomatoes.
This looks so delicious, and I just happen to have a bundle of asparagus in my fridge! I can’t wait to make this tonight!
Your pictures of asparagus has made me long for it. Fortunately asparagus season isn’t too far away. That dish looks so colourful as well as tasty.
Asparagus season hasn’t hit yet, but I am SO excited! Especially for recipes like this. Love the mediterranean flavors going on.
