Ingredients

  • 1 bunch asparagus
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • generous pinch of dried thyme
  • 1 pinch Kosher salt

Instructions

  • Mix olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, thyme and salt in bowl long enough to accommodate asparagus spears.
  • Wash asparagus and blot dry. Cut or snap off and dispose tough ends of asparagus spears. Add asparagus to balsamic mixture. Toss to coat spears well, and set aside to marinate.
  • Preheat grill to medium.
  • Place spears on grill, being sure to put tops as far from flame as possible.
  • Turn after a few minutes, be watchful that the spears don't burn. Some will have to be removed sooner than others, as thicker spears. You just want then cooked to tender.
  • Put grilled asparagus back in the marinade bowl, and toss to coat.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

I sometimes substitute ½ tsp. of Mrs. Dash original, for the garlic & thyme.
