Grilled Asparagus

serves 2-3

Trim asparagus by cutting off the tough ends (bend asparagus to determine where to cut).  Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt & pepper.

Place on a pre-heated medium-high grill.  Cook, turning often until vegetables are slightly charred on all sides.

Place on a platter, sprinkle with the juice of 1/2 a lemon.  Top with fresh diced tomato and some slivered almonds.
