How to Make Asparagus Feta Pumpkin Seed Salad

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Toss 1 cup pumpkin seeds with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt on a baking sheet. Roast for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant.
3. While the pumpkin seeds roast, snap off the tough ends of 1 pound asparagus and discard. Toss the asparagus with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper.
4. Roast the asparagus alongside the pumpkin seeds for the last 10-12 minutes of the pumpkin seed roasting time, or until tender-crisp.
5. In a large bowl, combine the roasted asparagus and pumpkin seeds.
6. Add 4 ounces feta cheese (ensure it's not too salty!), crumbled.
7. Whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper to taste for the dressing.
8. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
