INSTRUCTIONS
GARLIC MAYONNAISE
4 TO 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.
