Recipe Tips & Suggestions
Storage Instructions:
Refrigerating: Place any leftover grilled asparagus in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to 3-4 days. The pomegranate molasses dressing should also be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and consumed within one week.
Reheating: You can easily reheat the asparagus in a microwave for about 30-45 seconds, or re-grill them for a couple of minutes until they're warmed through. If you stored the pomegranate molasses dressing in the fridge, give it a good stir before serving
Freezing: While not recommended due to texture changes, if you must freeze the grilled asparagus, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze individually first. Then, transfer them to an airtight container or zip-top freezer bag for up to 3 months. Note: The dressing may not freeze well due to its consistency.
