1/4 cup walnuts, toasted
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil- Zest of 1 lemon
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1 cup fresh mint leaves
1 garlic clove, raw or roasted

Directions:
To make the pesto, combine the walnuts, cheese and the olive oil in a food processor and pulse until pureed.
Add the lemon zest, basil, mint and garlic and process until smooth.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Toss the asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Grill until crisp-tender and slightly charred, about 2-3 minutes (if you’re using thin asparagus spears, grill only a short time, as they will cook quickly.
