Brush asparagus with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Roast the asparagus in the oven at 400 degrees until cooked.

While the asparagus cooks, prepare the dressing by combining extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, zested lemon, fresh dill, thyme, oregano, parsley, salt, and black pepper in a bowl and lightly whisking it together.

Once the asparagus is done, cool it in the refrigerator for a few minutes before adding it to the salad.

In a large bowl, combine the roasted asparagus, red pepper, peas, rinsed artichokes, red onions, and capers.

Add the dressing to the bowl and mix everything together gently to combine.

Serve the salad in the bowl or transfer it to a platter, then top with pine nuts and goat cheese, or feta if preferred, along with additional salt and pepper.
