How to make Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus

prosciutto

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: ham

Turkey bacon is lower in fat, while ham is more affordable.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated mozzarella

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor without dairy, while mozzarella is budget-friendly.

Make the vinaigrette by combining 2 tablespoons of cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 tablespoon of Grey Poupon mustard in a large bowl.

Whisk the ingredients together until blended.

Slowly add 1/4 cup of olive oil while whisking to create an emulsion.

Grate the zest of 1 lemon into the vinaigrette and whisk it in.

Trim the woody ends off 1/2 pound of asparagus by bending them until they snap or cutting about 2 inches off the bottom.

Toss the asparagus in the lemon honey mustard vinaigrette until well coated.

Lay out slices of prosciutto on a cutting board and divide the asparagus into 4 bundles, placing the heads of the asparagus in the same direction.

Wrap each bundle of asparagus with prosciutto, placing the seam side down on a cooking rack.

Preheat the grill to about 425°F (medium-high) and place the wrapped asparagus on the grill.

Grill the asparagus bundles for about 12 minutes, checking for doneness to ensure they are cooked but still have some structure.

Remove the asparagus from the grill and drizzle the reserved lemon honey mustard vinaigrette on top.

Sprinkle parmesan cheese over each bundle before serving.
