Fresh asparagus is drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with a little salt, and grilled until tender. If you don’t want to heat up an outdoor grill, using a grill pan is quick and easy and works just as well. Grilling asparagus really heightens its flavors and I love the way it tastes with a little char on the outside.
Grilled Asparagus with Wasabi-Soy Dipping Sauce makes a great stress-free appetizer for having friends over. Not only does the asparagus only take minutes to grill, it can be made ahead of time and reheated or even served cold.

This asparagus looks gorgeous! It is 11 at night and now I am craving it!
We love grilled asparagus! Great idea to pair it with a dipping sauce!
I love, love, love asparagus, grilled or otherwise. In fact, it’s my favorite vegetable, so you know that I’m totally digging this. And, as a complete spice lover, that wasabi-soy dipping sauce sounds like the perfect accompaniment!
I’ve been eating bunch after bunch of grilled asparagus so why haven’t I thought to make a nice dipping sauce like this? I love the sound of the wasabi-soy! Pinned.
