I love asparagus! All it takes is a little grilling with some oil and salt, and I enjoy every bit. This recipe takes basic grilled asparagus, and adds a delicious caper vinaigrette. It is salty and citrusy, providing a great contrast to the asparagus. Delicious!
1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
2 teaspoons capers
Preheat grill (or broiler) to medium-high heat. Place asparagus on a shallow pan or in a shallow dish. Drizzle 1 tablespoon oil, and season with salt, tossing well to coat. Grill (or broil) about 5 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
Combine salt, vinegar, and next 3 ingredients. Stir with a whisk to combine. Slowly pour remaining oil into mixture, stirring constantly with a whisk. Add capers.
Arrange asparagus on a serving platter, drizzle with vinaigrette, and serve.
