Instructions

1. Prep the grill and ingredients: Preheat grill to medium-high. Trim 10–12 oz asparagus. Slice 1 medium onion into 1/2-inch rounds (use toothpicks if the rings separate). Chop 1 romaine heart and slice 1/2 cucumber.
2. Season the grill items: Toss asparagus with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, and black pepper. Brush onion rounds with 1/2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of pepper. Lightly oil 12 oz chicken sausage links with 1/2 tbsp olive oil if they look dry.
3. Grill the sausages: Grill chicken sausage over medium-high, turning every few minutes, until nicely charred and cooked through, 10–14 minutes total (target 165°F internal).
4. Grill the onions and asparagus: Grill onion rounds 4–5 minutes per side until charred and tender. Grill asparagus 3–5 minutes total, turning, until lightly blistered and crisp-tender.
5. Make the quick lemon dressing: In a bowl, whisk 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
6. Toss the salad: Toss chopped romaine and sliced cucumber with the lemon dressing. Taste and adjust salt/pepper.
7. Serve: Slice sausages and serve with grilled onions and asparagus, plus the crisp romaine-cucumber salad on the side.
