Playful asparagus spears soak up a bright, tangy marinade before snuggling into salty prosciutto, creating a delicious contrast of crisp vegetables, savory richness, and lively flavor in every irresistible bite. Each spear is satisfying enough for a party platter yet simple enough for an easy weeknight appetizer. Serve as an elegant starter, or arrange them alongside a fresh salad, roasted chicken, or grilled fish for a flavorful side dish that feels both effortless and special.
