Ingredients:
Vinaigrette:

4 large garlic cloves
1/2 tsp. olive oil
2 tbs. red wine vinegar
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/3 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Grilled Asparagus:

1-1/2 pound asparagus, tough ends snapped off
2 tsp. olive oil
1/4 tsp. salt

Instructions:
1. Make vinaigrette. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place unpeeled garlic cloves in small baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Roast garlic until soft, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly then peel and mince. Transfer to a small bowl.

2. Whisk together garlic, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard. Slowly whisk in 1/3 cup olive oil to form an emulsification. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

3. Meantime preheat a grill to medium heat.

4. Place asparagus on skewers (to make them easier to flip on the grill) and use a brush to oil both sides. Sprinkle with salt. Grill 5-7 minutes on each side or until asparagus is done.

5. Arrange asparagus on a serving platter and drizzle vinaigrette over top. Serve warm or room temperature.
