Salt and freshly ground black pepper

In a medium bowl, toss together the asparagus and 2 teaspoons of the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until crisp- tender.
In a medium bowl, combine the lemon juice and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Whisk until coated. Season with salt and pepper. Add the melon and mozzarella cheese. Toss to coat.
