Ingredients

0.25 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
12 fresh asparagus spears
6 cups fresh spinach leaves
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon seasoned slivered almonds

Instructions

Preheat your outdoor grill to a low heat setting and lightly grease the grill grate with oil.
In a baking dish, mix together the oil and lemon juice. Add the asparagus spears and toss them to ensure they are fully coated.
Place the asparagus on the preheated grill. Grill, turning occasionally and basting with the remaining oil-lemon juice mixture, until they are crisp-tender, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from the grill and return to the baking dish. Cut the asparagus into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the spinach, Parmesan cheese, and almonds. Add the grilled asparagus, along with any residual oil-lemon juice mixture from the baking dish. Toss gently to combine all ingredients and serve immediately for the best flavor.
