Simple Grilled Asparagus
Serves 4
Depending on the dish you are serving, sometimes you want a side dish with a lot
of competing flavors and textures. Other times, though, you just want something
that is good, but that won’t outshine your main course. That’s the case with this
simple grilled asparagus recipe. It’s one vegetable, and it’s amazing when grilled,
but when you serve it alongside a tender steak, it complements rather than taking
center stage. It’s also easy to make, and will make any meal feel like a special
occasion.
