Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Asparagus and Spinach Salad.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your outdoor grill to a gentle low heat, then lightly oil the grate to ensure your asparagus doesn’t stick.
Step 2
In a baking dish, combine olive oil and fresh lemon juice, then immerse the asparagus spears in this zesty mixture, rolling them until they are thoroughly coated.
Step 3
Once your grill is ready, lay the asparagus on the grate and let it sizzle for about five minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with any leftover oil-lemon blend, until the spears are crisp-tender and bursting with flavor.
Step 4
After grilling, remove the asparagus and chop it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 5
In a large bowl, bring together fresh spinach, grated Parmesan cheese, and seasoned slivered almonds.
Step 6
Gently fold in the grilled asparagus along with any remaining oil-lemon mixture from the baking dish.
Step 7
Toss everything together with care, and serve this vibrant dish immediately for a delightful burst of taste and texture.
Step 8
Enjoy the fresh, summery flavors that make this dish a perfect addition to any meal.
