Bring a bright, buttery balance to your summer spread with grilled asparagus. Lightly charred spears are tossed in lemon-garlic herb butter with fresh zest and juice, then finished with Italian cheese for a savory, tangy bite.

Instructions

Make the asparagus

  • Cut off the woody asparagus bottoms.
