Freshly harvested asparagus says spring is in the air, and on your table. Eating the tender spears right off the grill is pure pleasure.—Lessie Sites, Livingston, Montana

Ingredients

3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/8 teaspoon pepper

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first five ingredients. Add the asparagus; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for up to 1 hour.
Drain asparagus, reserving marinade. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack.
