Her compatriot Desiree Henry ran a personal best of 22.88 seconds to take third place.
Simone Facey of Jamaica finished second in 22.81 seconds.
It was Asher-Smith's first 200m since last summer, and she was pleased with her performance.
“I would have liked to have executed it a bit better down the home straight but in these conditions for the first outing of the year, I can’t complain,” she said to reporters afterwards. “I’m going to talk to my coach. We’re keeping our options open but obviously I’d like to make the Olympic team. We’ve got the trials next week in Birmingham and this is my last race before then.”
Turkey's Jak Ali Harvey won the men's 100 metres, with Britain's Richard Kilty coming in fifth.
Elsewhere, world record-holder David Rudisha could only finish fourth in the 800m, behind Ferguson Cheruiyot Rotich, who ran a time of 1:45.07.
