Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus with Bright Lemon Aioli (Keto)
  1. 1

    In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and garlic salt until well combined. Refrigerate the lemon aioli until ready to use.

  2. 2

    Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

  3. 3

    Separate the asparagus into groups of 3 to 5 stalks, based on the thickness of the asparagus. Wrap each bundle tightly with 1 slice of bacon, overlapping slightly as you go and tucking the ends under the bacon so it stays in place.

  4. 4

    Arrange the asparagus bundles in a single layer on a sheet of aluminum foil. Lightly spray the bundles with olive oil spray and sprinkle cracked pepper over the bacon.

  5. 5

    Grill the asparagus bundles on the foil for 10 minutes. Flip each bundle and continue grilling until the bacon is cooked through and crisp, another 10 minutes. Serve with the lemon aioli.
