We've been grilling vegetables a ton this summer. So easy and delicious. Since I can't say no to blue cheese (or any cheese for that matter), I decided to try this recipe out. It was as good as I knew it would be. The blue cheese added a tangy bite. Next time I might add in sun dried tomatoes to the mix for a little variation in flavor and color. The original recipe called for mustard seeds which I didn't have, so I omitted them.
Ingredients:
1 lb asparagus, trimmed
8 oz cremini mushrooms, halved
8 oz cremini mushrooms, halved
3 oz blue cheese, crumbled
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
Place asparagus and mushrooms in a zip lock bag. Whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Pour dressing mixture over the vegetables in the zip lock bag. Shake until vegetables are evenly coated.
Prepare grill. Place veggie mixture in a grill basket and grill until asparagus is browned and caramelized. Remove from grill and top with blue cheese.

One of the things I love most about summertime are the simple dishes that can be made using fresh produce, like this grilled asparagus and mushroom dish you made.
what the perfect side dish! Love grilling veggies before adding them to dishes! AMAZING
Thank you for giving me another reason to eat more blue cheese!
Hi there! Thanks so much for passing by my blog and following. I've done the same for you :)
Awesome to see you're renovating in DC. That's my hometown, though I'm far away from it now in Melbourne. Loving what I've seen of your recipes so far, too!
