Recipe: Grilled Asparagus with Orange-Olive Dressing

Side Dishes - Vegetables
GRILLED ASPARAGUS WITH ORANGE-OLIVE DRESSING

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Grated zest of 1 orange (colored portion of peel)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil, preferably extra-virgin
1 1/2 pounds pencil-thin asparagus, woody stems discarded
1/4 cup pitted and finely chopped black brine-cured olives

Build a charcoal fire in an outdoor grill; let burn until coals are covered with white ash. In a gas grill, preheat on high.

In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, orange zest, salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in oil.

Toss asparagus and dressing in a zippered plastic bag while you lightly oil the cooking grate. Remove asparagus from bag, reserving dressing.

Place asparagus on grill, perpendicular to grill grid. Grill, turning occasionally, until asparagus is tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate.

Stir olives into dressing; spoon over asparagus. Serve immediately.

Makes 4-6 servings
