Lemon and Feta Grilled Asparagus
Lemon and Feta Grilled Asparagus with Mighty Salt™ is a fresh, vibrant dish that brings out the best of simple ingredients. Perfect as a side for spring and summer meals, this recipe highlights the natural sweetness of asparagus, the creamy saltiness of feta, the crunch of the toasted pine nuts, and the zesty brightness of fresh lemon. What ties it all together is the finishing touch of Mighty Salt™, a premium seasoning that enhances every flavor without overpowering them.
The preparation is straightforward and quick. Fresh asparagus spears are trimmed and lightly tossed with olive oil, ensuring they don’t dry out on the grill. After just a few minutes over medium-high heat, the asparagus develops perfect char marks while staying tender-crisp. Once off the grill, the spears are arranged on a serving platter and immediately sprinkled with crumbled feta cheese, which softens slightly from the residual heat. Then top with toasted pine nuts for an extra crunch.
To finish, a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice is drizzled over the top, brightening the entire dish. A final sprinkle of Mighty Salt™ delivers the ideal burst of seasoning, accentuating the asparagus’s earthy flavor and balancing the creaminess of the feta. Optional garnishes, like lemon zest or a handful of fresh herbs (such as dill or parsley), can be added for extra color and aroma.
This recipe is not only delicious but also healthy and versatile. It pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, seafood, or can even stand alone as a light vegetarian dish. Thanks to the rich, balanced flavor of Mighty Salt™, each bite is layered with complexity despite the simplicity of the ingredients. Quick to prepare and impressive to serve, Lemon and Feta Grilled Asparagus with Mighty Salt™ is destined to become a staple at outdoor dinners, picnics, and weekday meals alike.
