Grilled Asparagus

  • While the tri tip rests, grill the asparagus. Our favorite way to grill asparagus is by washing, cutting off the ends and place on tin foil. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil then add a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Wrap in tin foil and grill until
  • Cook approximately 10 minutes and check for doneness. You'll want the asparagus tender with a bit of crunch.

Assemble The Salad
