Instructions

  • Prep the Asparagus by chopping off the ends. You can also do this by holding the asparagus and bending it near the end. It will naturally snap off where the woody portion ends and leave you with just the fresh tip.
  • Lightly oil a griddle pan and heat to a high heat. Spritz the asparagus with lemon juice and grill it for 2-3 minutes on each side. Place onto a serving plate as soon as it’s done.
  • To make the sauce, simply blend all the ingredients in a blender. Adjust the amount of seasoning and garlic to your taste.
  • Serve the asparagus however you like. I like to serve it on a slice of toasted bread with a little cream cheese, topped with the asparagus, garnished with some cress and feta cheese and then drizzled with the dressing. Get creative!
