Instructions

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
Once the water is boiling, add the Fusilli and cook according to the package directions. Drain the pasta, rinse, and transfer to a bowl.
While the pasta is cooking, make the dressing by adding all the ingredients to a Mason jar. Mix until combined. Set the dressing aside.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, the asparagus, red onion, cherry tomatoes, green onions, and parmesan cheese. Pour in the dressing and toss well to combine.
Taste the pasta salad and adjust the seasoning if you think it is necessary. Enjoy!

Feel free to season your roasted asparagus however you want.
