Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 10

¾ cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Divide asparagus stalks into groups of 3 to 5 stalks, depending on the thickness of the asparagus. Wrap each asparagus bundle tightly with 1 piece of bacon, overlapping slightly as you wrap and tucking the ends under the bacon so it holds securely.
  • Place asparagus bundles in a single layer on a piece of aluminum foil. Spray bundles lightly with olive oil spray and top the bacon with cracked pepper.
  • Grill asparagus bundles on the foil for 10 minutes. Flip each bundle and grill until bacon is cooked through and crisp, an additional 10 minutes. Serve with lemon aioli.
