Asparagus Stalks Memorial Day Picnics

 

Raw Asparagus Salad

Look for small to medium sized stalks that are firm and without blemish or shrivel-marks.



1/2 pound asparagus, washed, white ends trimmed plus an additional 2" cut off and discarded
Sea salt and pepper to taste


Slice in half the long way the larger stalks just before serving. Just before serving, toss the asparagus with the seasoned olive oil.


Use any size asparagus you like.



Heat the grill on a medium flame. Toss the asparagus in the seasoned olive oil and place on the grill. Tongs will help turn the asparagus on the grill. Be careful to brown but not burn the tender stalks. Serve warm.


Grill with carrots (sliced or whole baby carrots) and serve as a vegetable course or as a side dish.

To add heat, dust with a pinch of cayenne or an additional 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
