Grilled Asparagus with Walnut Salsa Verde
This easy grilled asparagus recipe is always the first thing I make when it warms up enough to cook outside again. The spears get lightly charred, tender, and sweet, then finished with a punchy walnut salsa verde made with garlic, anchovies, herbs, and lemon. It’s a simple spring side that's packed with flavor and only takes 20 minutes to make!
