Categories     Vegetable

Time 10m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons low-fat sour cream or 2 tablespoons nonfat sour cream
1 tablespoon low-fat buttermilk or 1 tablespoon skim milk
1 garlic clove, minced
1 -2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/8 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

poppy seed (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix together first five ingredients until smooth.
  • Cover and chill until serving time.
  • Boil asparagus for 5 minutes (until crisp-tender).
  • Drain (I've served this dish hot by tossing the asparagus in the pan with the dressing and heating for 1-2 minutes at this point).
  • Rinse with cold water and drain again.
  • Cover and chill until serving time.
  • To serve, gently toss asparagus spears with dressing.
  • Sprinkle lightly with poppy seeds, if desired.

I'm going to try making this recipe with different types of dressing, like a balsamic vinaigrette or a honey mustard dressing.

I would love to try this recipe with grilled asparagus instead of boiled.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I would add some other vegetables to it, like bell peppers or zucchini.

The dressing is a little too thick for my liking. I would add a little more olive oil next time.

This dish is a little too lemony for my taste. I would cut back on the lemon juice next time.
