Ingredients

1 ½ pounds thin asparagus, trimmed and cut into 4-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup honey
¼ cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound mixed salad greens
1 apple - peeled, cored, and sliced thin
¼ pound shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese

Steps:

Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Arrange asparagus pieces on a baking sheet. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over the asparagus; toss gently to coat and spread into a single layer.
Roast asparagus in preheated oven until tender, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
Combine honey, white wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and garlic in a jar; seal tightly and shake vigorously to blend into a salad dressing.
Arrange salad greens onto a large platter; top with apple slices, shredded white Cheddar cheese, and cooled asparagus.
Drizzle the salad dressing over the salad greens and toppings.
