PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED ASPARAGUS | with Dijon Dipping Sauce
This classic appetizer is always a party favorite. Grilling crisps up the prosciutto perfectly without overcooking the asparagus.
INGREDIENTS
12 asparagus spears, trimmed
1 Tbsp. olive oil
6 thin slices prosciutto, halved lengthwise
Dijon Dipping Sauce
⅓ cup light mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp. honey
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
¼ tsp each salt and freshly ground pepper
DIRECTIONS
Dijon Dipping Sauce: Stir mayonnaise with mustard, honey, lemon juice and salt and pepper; keep chilled.
Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus: Preheat your George Foreman Indoor/Outdoor Grill for 5 minutes with the lid closed on highest setting. Meanwhile wrap prosciutto slices around each asparagus spear.
Drizzle lightly with oil. Place wrapped asparagus on grill and cook, covered, for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until asparagus is tender and prosciutto is crisp. Serve with Dijon Dipping Sauce.
Tip: For an easy party appetizer, make the Dijon Dipping Sauce up to 2 days in advance of serving and wrap the asparagus spears with the prosciutto a day in advance of serving.
