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.

Number Of Ingredients 14
Steps:
- Put the garlic slices and oil in a small glass bowl and microwave on high power for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste. Using a sharp knife dipped into hot water and wiped dry, a cheese wire, or a piece of (unflavored) thick dental floss, slice the goat cheese into 8 pieces slightly less than 1 inch thick. Place on a large plate. Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. Place the flour, eggs, and panko in three separate shallow bowls. Coat each slice of goat cheese with flour, shaking to remove any excess. Dip into the eggs and turn to coat well, and then dip into the panko, turning and pressing lightly to coat well. Place on the lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until ready to fry. Trim off the tough bottom ends of the asparagus spears. Peel the stems, and then cut into diagonal pieces about 2 inches in length. Cook the asparagus in a medium saucepan of boiling salted water for about 1 minute after the water returns to a boil. Immediately plunge the cooked asparagus into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain well and refrigerate until ready to use. Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the cheese slices and cook until lightly browned on the first side, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook until golden on the second side. Remove and place on a baking sheet lined with several layers of paper towels to drain. The Cheese can be kept warm on a baking sheet in a 200-degree oven for up to 30 minutes. To serve, place 4 pieces of tomato in the center of each of four large chilled plates. Top with 2 spears of the asparagus. Place the greens on top of the vegetables, and spoon the vinaigrette over all. Place 2 slices of the warm goat cheese on one side of each salad and serve.

Our house is full of asparagus "fans"-my husband, our daughter and I can't get enough of it! My recipe is one I created years ago. I wanted to serve a cold dish in place of a hot vegetable at a dinner we were having for family and friends, and this salad was the result. I've found people who don't normally care for asparagus enjoy it prepared this way.
