- 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, that is known to help lower the risk of coronary heart disease.
- GARLIC MAYONNAISE: In medium bowl, mix all ingredients. Cover and refrigeratefor at least 1 hour or possibly up to 2 days. Whisk well before serving.
- Steam asparagus till crisp-tender, about 4 min. Drain, arrange asparagus on plates and serve warm with spoonful of garlic mayonnaise.
- Alternatively, serve asparagus cool. After cooking, drain asparagus, rinse with cool water till cold, then drain again. Cover and chill till ready to serve.
