Grilled Asparagus

It’s that time of the year to start grilling fabulous vegetables and some are ready to be harvested, for example- Asparagus!

I Love wild fresh asparagus and putting them on the grill is one of the most delicious ways to enjoy them.

Start by rinsing off and chopping off the bottom 2-3 inches of the asparagus

Make a little foil tray with sides to put on your grill

Spray with non-stick cooking spray, I prefer the Olive Oil Pam Spray

Spread your asparagus out in your little foil tray and moderately coat with Extra Virgin Olive Oil (or as my cooking icons say- EVOO) and then lightly coat with Ranch Dressing

Now- for the magic to this recipe- gather a ¼ cup of salted cashews and crush up and sprinkle over the top of the asparagus

Grill for about 30 minutes and ENJOY!

The salted cashews give the asparagus the right amount of salt and add some crunch to this dish.
