You don't have to cut off the ends of the asparagus....just bend them and they know where to snap off. This is a great marinade for them...the lemon juice gives them a nice, bright flavor. I didn't change a thing in this recipe, it's a keeper! Thanks Christopher!

Delicious! I made this last night and even my in laws who don't like asparagus raved about it. It was wonderful and super easy.

This is almost how I usually prepare mine, but I add kosher salt and minced garlic. I do have to say I missed them here, but it's hard to go wrong with grilled asparagus and we enjoyed it. Thanks for posting!

This was sooo easy. I've never grilled asparagus and used an indoor grill. Would marinate it longer than 30 min next time. Delicious!

Delicious! I liked having the balsamic, soy sauce and lemon juice added to marinate. I have always just coated it with oil and then drizzled the other things on after it was cooked. The vinegar caramelized a bit which gave it a nice crunch.
