How to Make Asparagus With Warm Tomato Vinagrette
- Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Generously salt the water.
- Add the trimmed asparagus to the boiling water and cook until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes.

- Coarsely chop the tomatoes.
- In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, and honey.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
