Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus

By clawson

Ingredients

• 2 pounds medium asparagus (woody ends removed)
• 1/2 pound thinly sliced proscuitto
• 1/2 lemon (zest and juice)
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• extra-virgin olive oil
• salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
Wrap a slice of prosciutto around each asparagus spear. Drizzle with olive oil. Place on the grill and cook turning occasionally until slightly charred but still firm, about 5 minutes. Remove to a platter.
Meanwhile, whisk together the lemon juice, zest, Dijon mustard and about 1/4 cup of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve the prosciutto wrapped asparagus alongside the lemon vinaigrette. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips
- Wrap the asparagus and make the vinaigrette ahead of time. Grill before serving your guests!
- If you can't find prosciutto, replace with thinly sliced deli ham, pancetta or bacon!
