While the Two Peas undergo renovation on their Pod, they've been using the grill more than ever for dishes like this -- Grilled Asparagus with Lemon and Feta Cheese.

We love fresh, simple, and healthy dishes that are tasty and nutritious. Since our kitchen is currently undergoing a Thermador makeover, we have been using our grill to create delicious meals. One of our favorite vegetable side dishes is grilled asparagus with lemon and feta cheese. This dish is easy to prepare and goes well with any meal. 

Toss asparagus spears with a little bit of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Place on a hot grill and cook until tender, but still crisp. Transfer hot spears to a serving platter and garnish with feta cheese. The bright green asparagus are smoky and crisp. The hint of lemon is refreshing while the creamy feta cheese adds a nice texture and flavor to complete the dish.

Grilled asparagus with lemon and feta cheese is the perfect accompaniment to any meal. This simple and healthy side dish is always a favorite at our table.  

Two Peas and Their Pod: While Josh Lichty puts the finishing touches on the kitchen, Maria's been busy experimenting on the grill.
