Steamed Asparagus with Dairy-Free Creamy Lemon Herb Sauce
So to keep things very simple, I just used a store bought mayonnaise (no, not Miracle Whip), dressed it up with a little fresh herbs, lemon and honey and drizzled it over freshly steamed asparagus.
Mix together the mayo, juice, zest, chives, honey and season with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Set aside.
Asparagus:
Lay the asparagus in a large skillet with deep sides and cover with an inch of water with a pinch each of salt and sugar. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat and simmer until the asparagus turn bright green, about 5-8 minutes depending on the size of the asparagus. I always test the asparagus by biting into the cut end of the thickest stalk- but be careful because those babies are HOT! Transfer the asparagus straight to a serving plate.
