    Grilled Asparagus with ProsciuttoThis is the perfect spring appetizer! Pick up with your fingers and bite into a slightly crunchy, grilled asparagus stalk wrapped in a salty, sweet sweater of prosciutto. OK maybe a bit much, but the taste is divine! Drizzle with store-bough balsamic glaze for an extra zap of goodness.  The char and smoke from the grill add lots of depth.  Grilled prosciutto is better than bacon - not as greasy! Grilled Asparagus Wrapped in Prosciutto are super easy to make too.  Just wrap a slice of think prosciutto around the asparagus and grill. Done.

    I served these at a #SundaySupper with a Cheese and Fig Crostini Board.  Learn more about the entire menu including Braciole Stuffed with Artichokes by clicking here.
