Asparagus is the perfect vegetable for summer. Since it contains diuretic properties, it can help you lose the water between your skin and muscles – giving you a leaner look! (which we all want, right!?)
Try this recipe for summer:
Grilled Asparagus with Red Onion and Parmesan Vinaigrette
1 – 2 bunches of asparagus (rinsed and ends trimmed)
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1/4 red onion, diced
1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp. finely grated Parmesan cheese
1) Toss asparagus in olive oil and place on grill over high heat. Turn quickly to prevent burning. Remove when asparagus turns bright green.
2) Combine remaining ingredients; mixture should be chunky.
3) Drizzle vinaigrette on top of asparagus.
4) Enjoy!!
