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
