| Author Notes: |
Here's a rich take on spring's favorite vegetable. To lower fat and calories, substitute low fat sour cream or even plain yogurt. For the best flavor, make the dressing ahead of time so it can sit for a few hours before serving. In fact you can make the asparagus ahead of time too and serve this dish chilled - perfect for a summer picnic. Asparagus Tip: When buying asparagus, look for firm, bright green spears with tightly closed tips. |
| Ingredients: |
1 pound fresh asparagus 4 ounces sour cream (or low fat sour cream) 1 tablespoon milk or cream 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar 2 teaspoons olive oil 3 garlic cloves, minced black pepper to taste |
| Instructions: |
Serves 4 as a side dish, 8 as an appetizer Snap off tough ends of asparagus and steam until crisp-tender - about 6 minutes. To stop the cooking process, plunge asparagus into ice water. Drain and chill until ready to serve. Mix dressing by combining remaining ingredients. To serve, spoon sour cream mixture over asparagus spears. |
