Lemon-Caper Vinaigrette

- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon capers, drained
- 2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

directions
- Vinaigrette: Combine the shallots, lemon zest and lemon juice, capers, and parsley in a small non-reactive bowl.
- Whisk in the olive oil; season with taste with salt and pepper.
- Set aside.
- To prepare the asparagus: Brush the asparagus with olive oil; season with salt.
- Grill (I used a stove top grill pan) over medium-high heat, turning often to brown evenly. Grill asparagus until just tender, approximately 8-10 minutes.
