Notes
How To Store Leftovers? The best part about this spring asparagus salad that it holds up well. Simply store it in an airing container in the fridge for up to 4 days. I use my favorite glass meal prep bowls (affiliate link) to store them.
Instructions to Make It Ahead: If you want to make this asparagus tomato and feta salad in advance I recommend preparing and storing all the vegetables in a bowl and then adding the lemon vinaigrette, feta cheese, and basil leaves at the very end right before serving.
