If you’re looking for a simple yet flavorful side dish, Lemon & Feta Asparagus is a perfect choice. The fresh, crisp asparagus is grilled until just tender, then topped with tangy lemon and feta dressing for a bright and savory finish.
It’s a quick, elegant dish that pairs beautifully with grilled meats, seafood, or even a hearty grain bowl. We love to serve it with this lemon feta chicken because they share a lot of the same flavors.
Helpful Tips
- Trim the asparagus properly: Snap off the woody ends or cut them where the green color fades to ensure tender bites.
- Don’t overcook it: Asparagus should be bright green and slightly crisp—grill or roast it for just a few minutes.
- Use fresh lemon juice: Bottled lemon juice can taste flat, so squeeze a fresh lemon for the best flavor.
