Steps:
- Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat (350° to 450°F) and preheat the grill pan.
- In a small bowl whisk together the mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper. Slowly add in the oil, whisking constantly until it is emulsified.
- Remove and discard the tough bottom of each asparagus spear by grasping at each end and bending it gently until it snaps at its natural point of tenderness, usually about two-thirds of the way down the spear.
- Spread the asparagus on a large plate. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette and turn the spears until they are evenly coated. (I lightly salt the asparagus at this point.) In a medium bowl toss the tomatoes and bread cubes with 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette.
- Brush the cooking grates clean. Spread the tomatoes and bread cubes in a single layer on the grill pan and lay the asparagus on the cooking grate. Grill over direct medium heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until the asparagus is tender, the tomatoes begin to soften, and the bread cubes are toasted, turning often. The asparagus will take 6 to 8 minutes and the tomatoes and bread cubes will take 2 to 4 minutes.
- Arrange the asparagus on a platter and top with the tomatoes, croutons, feta, and chives. Serve with the remaining vinaigrette.

Tips:
- Choose ripe and flavorful tomatoes. Look for tomatoes that are firm, plump, and have a deep red color. Avoid tomatoes that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Use fresh asparagus. Fresh asparagus should be firm and have tight, closed tips. Avoid asparagus that is limp or has wilted tips.
- Blanch the asparagus. Blanching the asparagus helps to preserve its color and crisp texture. To blanch the asparagus, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender-crisp. Immediately remove the asparagus from the boiling water and plunge it into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a good quality feta cheese. Feta cheese is a key ingredient in this salad, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for feta cheese that is made from sheep's milk or goat's milk and has a creamy texture and a slightly salty flavor.
- Make the dressing ahead of time. The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
Conclusion:
This asparagus and tomato salad with feta is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for summer. It is light and flavorful, and it is packed with nutrients. The asparagus and tomatoes are a good source of vitamins and minerals, and the feta cheese is a good source of calcium and protein. This salad is also a good source of antioxidants, which can help to protect your cells from damage.
