Lemon-Grilled Asparagus
Lemon-Grilled Asparagus is a light, smoky side that captures the freshness of summer cooking. Tender asparagus spears are lightly charred on the grill, bringing out a natural sweetness with a subtle crisp bite. Fresh lemon adds a bright, citrusy lift that balances the gentle smokiness from the grill. Finished with a squeeze of grilled lemon juice, each bite is simple, fresh, and perfect alongside any summer meal.
