Roasted Asparagus and Apple Salad

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds thin asparagus, trimmed and cut into 4-inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pound mixed salad greens
• 1 apple – peeled, cored, and sliced thin
• 1/4 pound shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Arrange asparagus pieces on a baking sheet. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over the asparagus; toss gently to coat and spread into a single layer.

Roast asparagus in preheated oven until tender, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

Combine honey, white wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and garlic in a jar; seal tightly and shake vigorously to blend into a salad dressing.

Arrange salad greens onto a large platter; top with apple slices, shredded white Cheddar cheese, and cooled asparagus.

Drizzle the salad dressing over the salad greens and toppings.
