Grilled Asparagus Caesar Salad

Asparagus marinated in garlic and shallot, grilled until charred and tender, then topped with Caesar dressing, shaved Parmesan, and homemade croutons.

Prep Time:10

Cook Time:15

Marinade time:30

Ingredients

1 lb asparagus trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon coarse or flaked sea salt
1 small shallot finely chopped
4 cloves garlic minced
1/2 to 3/4 cup Caesar dressing
1/2 cup freshly shaved Parmesan
2 cups French bread cut into cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Combine olive oil, flaked salt, shallot, and garlic in a large bowl. Add asparagus and toss to coat. Let it sit 30 minutes at room temperature.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Toss bread cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, and salt. Spread on a baking sheet and bake 10 to 15 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden and crisp. Set aside.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat. Lift asparagus from the marinade and place on the grill, letting garlic and shallot cling to the spears. Grill 4 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and lightly charred.
Arrange asparagus on a serving platter. Drizzle with Caesar dressing, scatter Parmesan over the top, and add croutons just before serving.
