Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftover asparagus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the grill or in a pan to maintain its flavor.
  • Freezing: While it's best fresh, you can blanch the asparagus and freeze it for later use. Thaw before grilling.
  • Pairing: This dish pairs beautifully with grilled salmon or chicken, adding a light and refreshing element to your meal.
  • Presentation: For a stunning presentation, drizzle a bit of the dipping sauce over the asparagus before serving.
  • Experiment: Don’t be afraid to experiment with other dipping sauces. A tangy vinaigrette can also complement the grilled asparagus.
