This Roasted Asparagus and Spinach Pasta Salad tastes great with roasted asparagus, soft pasta, fresh spinach, and tasty toppings. This salad is great for a light meal or as a side dish for any event because the balsamic vinaigrette dressing gives it a tangy twist.
Ingredients: 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces. 8 ounces of pasta your choice, cooked and drained. 4 cups fresh spinach leaves. 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved. 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced. 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 425F 220C. Place the trimmed asparagus pieces on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and let cool. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, roasted asparagus, fresh spinach leaves, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and feta cheese. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and balsamic vinegar to make the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are well coated with the dressing. Serve your roasted asparagus and spinach pasta salad immediately, or refrigerate for a few hours to chill before serving. Enjoy your delicious and healthy salad!
