Here’s a new asparagus recipe to kick off the summer season, some grilled asparagus with marinated roasted red peppers, feta and kalamata olives. The idea came from when I was enjoying some marinated roasted red peppers recently and I thought that the sweet, tangy and salty combo of the roasted red peppers, feta and kalamata olives would be fabulous on smokey, juicy, tender/crisp asparagus! This recipe is really easy to make where you mix up a simple balsamic marinade and marinate the roasted red pepper, feta and olives in it for a while before grilling up some asparagus and serving them together! This makes for either a great side or as a warm or chilled salad for any summer meal!
Serve it as a salad with the grilled asparagus all chopped up!

This recipe is AMAZING! I’ve tried 2 of your asparagus recipes the past two days, and both were so delicious! I really love your idea of chopping the grilled asparagus into smaller pieces to make it easier to eat. Of course, the long spears in your pictures is so pretty, but for eating, it’s much easier when it’s chopped up. This is definitely a keeper! Thank you!
Made this tonight for dinner. Very flavorful. So good. We are vegan so I just substituted vegan feta (follow your heart vegan feta crumbles) and it was absolutely delish 😋. We will definitely be having this again. Thanks for the recipe!
My dish looks ugly brown due to balsamic vinegar. What do you recommend?
For the presentation, I usually sprinkle on some fresh feta in addition to the marinated and now brown feta, which gives it a cleaner look. You could also try using a white balsamic vinegar.
ighs.Kicked t tonight, added grape tomatoes to marinade. served with grilled chicken thighs.
