dijon-mayonnaise glazed asparagus

I remain convinced that whoever can come up with a calorie-free mayonnaise will become an overnight billionaire. Of course, this is pretty much impossible as the oh so delicious condiment is made with oil and egg yolks. I do know for a fact though that mayo in the right quantity tastes absolutely delicious.

This Dijon-Mayonnaise Glazed Asparagus is a delicious way to celebrate asparagus. Two of the most amazing condiments with the smoky flavor from the grill is the perfect way to celebrate summer. So easy and takes minutes to make!

Remember to save the woody ends of the asparagus for soup or vegetable stock. Also, I'll be heading down to C-town for a few days so no updates for a little bit. Have an awesome rest of the week and see you all this weekend!
