Instructions

• Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat (180°C to 230°C).
• In a small bowl whisk the mayonnaise ingredients.
• Remove and discard the tough bottom of each asparagus spear by grasping each end and bending it gently until it snaps at its natural point of tenderness, usually two-thirds of the way down the spear. For very thick spears, after snapping off the thick ends, use a vegetable peeler to peel off the outer skin from the bottom half of each spear.
