For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the blanched asparagus briefly before marinating. The slight char adds a wonderful smoky note. If you don't have fresh parsley on hand, you can substitute with dried parsley, but be sure to use about half the amount, as dried herbs are more potent. Homemade balsamic vinaigrette will truly elevate this dish. A simple recipe: whisk together 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, 1 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 clove minced garlic, salt, and pepper to taste.
