GRILLED ASPARAGUS AND SPRING ONION SALAD WITH PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Preheat the grill and brush any bits of crud and soot off with a grill brush. Run an oiled cloth over the grill grate after it has been brushed to pick up any of the loosened material.
• Toss the asparagus with olive oil and salt, to taste. Put on the grill and sear on all sides until the asparagus is charred and crispy, about 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from the grill to a plate and reserve.
• In a bowl toss, together the arugula, onion and Parmesan and dress with high quality extra-virgin olive oil and the Meyer lemon juice. Season with salt, to taste.
• Arrange a few asparagus spears on 4 plates. Lay 2 prosciutto slices in a crinkly fashion on each portion. Top with the arugula salad and serve.
• Wowwee! What a salad!
