ASPARAGUS APPETIZER - SPEAR ECSTASY
This is a wonderful light apetizer. I served it at a luncheon and all asked for the recipe. My son-in-law did the "taste test" for me and wanted any left-overs. (Re the capers listed below: it does take 1 tbsp PLUS 1 tsp, drained and chopped) Recipe from Food Network.

Steps:
- To make Dipping Sauce: Mix well the sour cream, mayo, onion, lemon juice, capers, tarragon, onion powder, sugar and pepper together using a whisk.
- Refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.
- Steam asparagus until fork tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Mix Ice Bath together in large bowl. Plunge asparagus into ice water and let sit until cold.
- (I personally skipped the water bath and just let steamed asparagus drain in colander until cooled.) Transfer to paper towel to drain.
- Refrigerate.
- Serve chilled asparagus with dipping sauce.
- Note Do Ahead tips: The dipping sauce can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and regrigerated. The asparagus can be prepared 1 day in advance and refrigerated.
