Grilled Asparagus and Zucchini Spears with Parmesan Cheese

Grilled Asparagus and Zucchini Spears with Parmesan CheeseWe were grilling some chicken for dinner and I decided to make a quick marinade for some asparagus and zucchini. The marinade was light but full of flavor and so good. I loved the fresh basil and garlic with the bite of the red wine vinegar. My husband did a great job of grilling dinner… the chicken was moist and tender and the vegetables were perfect – still a bit crisp.

  1. Yummy, this is one of my favorite things to eat in the summer. I usually just brush mine with olive oil and salt and pepper. I will have to try out this marinade, sounds good.

  2. Wow, I have just stumbled upon your blog, and I must say, I love it! I’m very excited to come back here and browse your recipes. And your outdoor kitchen for camping – impressive! I’ve also talked with Cheryl a bit through our blogs – I just moved here to Salem, so we’re close!

  3. Oh lordy, this looks great. I like how you sliced the zuccchini, and grilled asparagus is so terrific. The marinade sounds great. I need to used vinegar more often in marinading. Topping the veggies with parmesan … YUM!

  4. That is a nice way to enjoy some asparagus and zucchini. I think that adding a splash of balsamic vinegar would be great as well.
