In a large skillet, bring about 1-inch of water to boiling. Add asparagus and simmer, uncovered, until barely tender, about 4-5 minutes. Drain and dunk in ice water until cold; drain, cover and chill until serving.

Meanwhile, combine well all remaining ingredients in medium mixing bowl. Transfer to serving bowl, serve with asparagus spears or cover and chill until serving.
