Grilled Asparagus with Cilantro Lemon Butter

I did not grill these--I did roast the asparagus in the oven only because the weather hasn't been great and I could not wait to try these. I did not use light butter, just regular salted butter. I also used reduced fat sour cream because that was what I had on hand. I thought this was fantastic. The drizzle over the top really made the roasted asparagus even better. This has got to be one of the best asparagus recipes I've ever had.

Best asparagus ever! I skipped the boiling part and just through the asparagus on the grill. Worked great. This sauce is seriously amazing, I was dipping my pork in it too. I added a bit of lemon zest to it too for a more intense lemon flavor. Thanks for the recipe, it'll be used often:)

YUM:) I love asparagus, cilantro and lemon AND I'm a big fan of grilling veggies so when I saw this recipe I just knew I had to try it and boy am I glad I did! Thanks soo much for sharing:)

This is much bigger than the fact this is an asparagus side dish recipe. It really is the sauce that is the versatile star of the show! While this was delicious on the asparagus, I can imagine it would be just as good on any number of things - vegetables, potatoes, or any savory dish you'd use sour cream. Fresh, light and creamy with just the right amount of cilantro herbiness. And even with that, I would imagine this would also be very good with the herb(s) of your choice. This unique recipe has many interesting possibilities and variations. (Note: Steaming the asparagus on the grill wrapped in foil is sufficient. The initial step of cooking the asparagus in boiling water isn't necessary)

At first I thought the sauce would be tart, not so. It was very mild, a bit reminiscient of a ranch dressing but a pop of zestiness from the cilantro. The sauce MAKES the asparagus!

I loved this and I don't even like sour cream!

Excellent! We also use the Cilantro Lemon Butter on our pork tacos! It is absolutely delicious and super easy to make!

Super easy! We never ate asparagus but now we are hooked!! We use the sause on potatoes, wraps and anything we can think of!

Cilantro added a nice taste, but found the lemon too strong. Sauce also cooled off asparagus so it didn't remain hot for too long.

This cilantro lemon butter is a star that went right into my recipe box! Perfect on the asparagus AND our grilled Yukon gold potato side too!

I loved this recipe, probably because I love sour cream and lemon so much. Would have given it 5 stars for myself, but hubby and kids didn't love it as much as I did (they did like it and eat it) so that is why I gave it 4.

I will say that I baked in the oven instead of using the grill, and it worked out well. They weren't that thick so it only took about 15mins at 400. The sauce was nice but I'm not a lemon lover so that's why it's a 4 but my daughter loved it and she's a fan of lemon. So if you're a fan then keep the same if you're like me, maybe add half the amount. I also think I'll chop up more cilantro next time.

I made some changes, based only on what I had on hand. I used regular, salted butter, regular sour cream, and bottled lemon juice. I thought it made a great sauce and will certainly make it again. As I'm getting ready to get back on a diet, I will use the healthier ingredients next time.

This was a really nice side! I do not have a barbeque, so I roasted it in the oven at 400 F for the recommended time instead. Put the sauce in a bowl so that the asparagus doesn't get cold. The sauce was very nice and light! Very lemony, went well with the cilantro. I will absolutely do this again!

I loved it, wished I had made more asparagus so I could've eaten more. My husband didn't even try the sauce simply after seeing what the ingredients are; still working on breaking him of that. But overall, it's an amazing recipe :)

My family loves asparagus and this turned into a mushy mess. I think you need to do one or the other, boil or grill. I even had thicker asparagus so I’m really wondering how this turned so mushy. Tasted great, but overall would definitely not recommend to cook it like this. I’ll stick to roasted or grilled.

This was awsome !! I didn't have sour cream , but used plain nonfat Greek yogurt instead
