Grilled Asparagus W/ Balsamic Vinaigrette

Description: I put together this recipe after looking at several others and combining them. We had never had asparagus on the grill before and it was fantastic.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb asparagus
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 shallot, minced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 -4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• salt and pepper (I used about a teaspoon of each)
• 1/2 lemon

Steps:

1. add vinegars, shallot, and garlic to a non-reactive bowl.
2. while whisking, slowly drizzle in olive oil to make an emulsion.
3. add salt and pepper.
4. let sit for 1/2 hour to allow flavors to meld.
5. add asparagus and lightly toss to coat evenly.
6. let sit for a few minutes.
7. place on medium-high preheated grill and let cook for 8-10 minutes.
8. right before you remove from grill squeeze lemon over the asparagus and then serve.
