A great late spring recipe that combines the light flavors of asparagus with a summer cooking method and a traditional Argentine sauce. Grilling the asparagus softens the flavor, keeping it crisp and simple, and lemon is a fantastic compliment that adds a sunny taste. I created this recipe as a nod to my time spent living in Argentina. Adding lemon to this traditional sauce, that is normally used for grilled meat, creates a nice pairing with grilled asparagus. Pour it on top, dip it, or use it as a table condiment, and yes you can throw in a grilled protein too!

Beets are a healthy addition to a well-balanced diet, and they add vibrant color to a spring salad like this one.
