Method

  1. To make the dressing, whisk the oil and lemon juice with 1 tbsp water in a jug. Pour into a small serving dish and set aside. Put the feta, olives, lemon zest and oregano in a bowl. Season with freshly ground black pepper and toss to combine.
  2. >Toss the asparagus with the oil; season well. Put a griddle pan over a high heat until smoking hot. Working in batches (if needed), griddle the spears in a single layer for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until just tender and lightly charred.
  3. Arrange the asparagus on a serving platter. Scatter with the feta mixture and spoon over the dressing. Garnish with the extra herb leaves and serve warm.
