1 T. olive oil

Table salt

Ground black pepper

6 slices of bacon (about 6 oz.), cut into 1/4-inch strips

2 T. minced red onion

1/4 C. balsamic vinegar

1 T. minced fresh parsley

1/4 C. extra-virgin olive oil

 

Adjust oven rack to uppermost position and heat broiler. Toss asparagus with oil and salt and pepper, and then lay spears in single layer on heavy rimmed baking sheet. Broil about 4 inches from heating element, shaking pan halfway through to turn spears, until asparagus is tender and lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes.  Cool asparagus 5 minutes and arrange on serving dish. Fry bacon strips in medium skillet over medium heat until brown and crisp, about 6 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Whisk onion, vinegar, parsley, and oil in small bowl; season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle over asparagus, sprinkle with bacon, and serve immediately.
