Nutritional values

Green asparagus grows above ground, unlike white asparagus, which is why the green stalks contain more vitamins and minerals, including higher levels of chlorophyll and vitamin C. These water-soluble vitamins promote the absorption of iron into the body.

This recipe can be enhanced with veal steak, beef skewers, or chicken breast fillet. This provides plenty of protein and makes you feel full for a long time.

Mix the lemon juice with the oil and season with salt, pepper and sugar. Cook the asparagus on a hot grill, turning as needed, for 3 - 5 minutes. Arrange on a plate with the lemon slices and serve drizzled with the vinaigrette.
