Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Roast the Tomatoes

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the grape tomatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes until they are blistered and caramelized.

  2. 2

    Grill the Asparagus

    While the tomatoes are roasting, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let cool, then chop into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salad Base

    Wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large salad bowl.

  4. 4

    Add Ingredients

    Add the roasted grape tomatoes, grilled asparagus, shaved parmesan cheese, and garlic croutons to the bowl with the romaine.

  5. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the creamy Nero dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients. Serve immediately.
