Not Ketchup & Michigan Asparagus

In yesterday's recipe - Double Blueberry Bison Burgers - I already told you how much I enjoy Not Ketchup's products. Today I'm using another one of her no added sugar sauces - Tangerine Hatch Chile.

When I received a cooler full of fresh asparagus from Michigan Asparagus, I immediately pickled half of them. That recipe is coming soon. But I knew that I wanted to include some grilled asparagus in a salad offering this week.

Fresh asparagus is definitely a harbinger of Spring and Michigan is one of the largest domestic asparagus growers in the United States. Michigan Asparagus is available mid-May through June and is the only hand-snapped harvested asparagus which means more usable asparagus and less waste.

Tangerine Hatch Chile 

Grilled Corn and Asparagus Salad

Ingredients serves 4

• 4 ears of corn
• 1 pound asparagus
• 3 T ketchup (I used Not Ketchup's No Sugar Added Tangerine Hatch Chile Sauce*)
• 1/4 C mayonnaise (my homemade recipe)
• 1 C grated cheese (I used a combination of Monterey jack, asiago, parmesan, and provolone)
• freshly ground salt, as needed
• freshly ground pepper, as needed
• Also needed: grill or grill pan

Procedure 

Preheat oven to 350°F. Rinse ears and place corn cobs, still in their husks, on a baking sheet. Roast for 30 minutes.

When they are cool enough to handle, peel back the husks and remove the silk.

Wrap the husks near the base of the cob and tie in a knot. I use them as a handy way to grip the corn ears. Grill quickly to get nice char lines on the corn.

Grill the asparagus until they get char marks, too. We prefer ours still firm. But cook to your preferred doneness.

Cut the kernels from the cob and place them in a large mixing bowl. Slice the grilled asparagus into 1-1/2" lengths and place those in the same bowl. Mix in the remaining ingredients and toss until well-combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve immediately. If not serving immediately, refrigerate until ready to serve.
