   Preheat the grill to medium high heat, and the oven to broil. Prepare a small baking dish with a sheet of foil.

2. 2

   Drizzle the asparagus with half the olive oil and toss the asparagus to thinly coat. Sprinkle them lightly with kosher salt and lay them on the grill. Let them cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they are lightly charred, and tender.

   Meanwhile, put the fresh mozzarella ball on the sheet of foil and drizzle it with the remaining olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and fresh black pepper. Put it in the oven to broil for about 4-5 minutes.
