Servings: 4

Ingredients

Asparagus (1 pound, trimmed)
Arugula (4 cups, washed and dried)
Prosciutto (6 ounces, sliced)
Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup, shaved)
Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
Lemon (1, juiced)
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Trim the tough ends of the asparagus spears to ensure they are tender and enjoyable.
In a medium bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Place the asparagus on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until tender and lightly charred.
Once grilled, remove the asparagus from the grill and let it cool slightly to preserve its vibrant color.
In a large salad bowl, combine the arugula, grilled asparagus, and prosciutto slices, gently mixing to combine without bruising the greens.
Drizzle freshly squeezed lemon juice over the salad, then toss gently to ensure all ingredients are coated.
Top the salad with generous shavings of Parmesan cheese for a rich finish.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional lemon wedges if desired, and enjoy the fresh flavors!
