This simple grilled asparagus salad celebrates this spring vegetable at its best, lightly charred and paired with sharp pickled onion and soft herbs. The quick-pickled red onion brings brightness and a hint of acidity that cuts through the smokiness of the grilled asparagus.
Use a hot grill or grill pan to get good color on the asparagus without overcooking it – two minutes per side should be enough. Pickle the onions in advance so they have time to soften, and toss everything together just before serving to keep the herbs fresh.
