Chicken, Asparagus and Caramelized Onions image

I love this dish, its from a cookbook called "150 things to do with Roasted Chicken" I did this dish without roasting the chicken, just a simple way to go. I love asparagus and carmelized onions and all these flavors along with balsamic vinegar go together incredibly well!

Asparagus, Pecorino and Red Onion Salad image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h8m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch pencil asparagus, tough bottom stems removed
1 small red onion, finely diced
1 cup coarsely grated aged pecorino
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Cut the asparagus, including the tips into very thin slices, crosswise and place in a medium bowl. Add the red onion and pecorino and toss to combine. Dress with the vinegar, olive oil and salt and toss again. This salad should be fairly heavily dressed. The vinegar will sort of "cook" or tenderize the asparagus.
  • It is best to do this about an hour or so in advance to let the flavors "marry".
  • Semplice!
