***GARLIC MAYONNAISE***

1 cup soy mayonnaise

1/2 cup chopped fresh herbs

such as basil or tarragon or chervil

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2 small clov garlic -- minced

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

***REMAINING INGREDIETS***

1 pound asparagus -- tough ends trimmed

up to 1 1/2 pounds

 

4-6 Servings Dairy Free

 

Fresh spring green asparagus is an elegant vegetable, but it's often paired

with calorie-packed sauces. Try serving the spears with a healthier soy

mayonnaise flavored with garlic, and be sure not to overcook the

asparagus. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the

spears. Asparagus is a great source of folic acid, which is known to help

lower the risk of coronary heart disease.

 

Garlic mayonnaise: In medium bowl, mix all ingredients. Cover and chill

for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days. Whisk well before serving. Steam

asparagus until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain, arrange asparagus on

plates and serve hot with spoonful of garlic mayonnaise. Alternatively,

serve asparagus cold. After cooking, drain asparagus, rinse with cold

water until cool, then drain again. Cover and refrigerate until ready to

serve.
