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 the best asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are firm, straight, and have tight tips. Avoid spears that are limp, woody, or have brown spots.
- Prepare the asparagus properly: Wash the asparagus thoroughly and trim the woody ends. You can peel the asparagus if desired, but this is not necessary.
- Cook the asparagus quickly: Asparagus cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Blanching or roasting are good cooking methods for asparagus.
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: The tomatoes in this salad should be ripe and juicy. Heirloom tomatoes are a great choice.
- Use good quality feta cheese: Feta cheese should be firm and crumbly. Avoid feta that is too soft or watery.
- Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs such as basil, oregano, or thyme can add a nice flavor to this salad.
Conclusion:
This fresh asparagus, tomato, and feta salad is a delicious and healthy side dish or light lunch. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
