(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Sides

Ingredients

  • 1 pound thick asparagus, peeled and ends trimmed
  • olive oil spray (if concerned about using olive oil for grilled veggies, use grapeseed oil or any vegetable oil)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Dijon Mustard Vinaigrette:
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 3 tbsp Bragg's Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 small shallot, chopped (or 1/2 small red onion, chopped)

  • 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley

Directions

  1. For the asparagus:

  2. Preheat gas grill to 400 F (medium heat).
  3. Spray asparagus with olive oil (other oil of your choice), season with salt and pepper. Grill asparagus for 4-5 minutes, turning once until they are tender. Grilling time may vary, keep an eye on the grill.
  4. For the Dijon mustard vinaigrette:

  5. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl (jar). Taste and adjust the taste if needed. If the vinaigrette is too tart, you cal always add a pinch of sugar to it.
