Special enough for company, this dish suggested by field editor Cathee Bethel of Lebanon, Oregon has the inspiring taste of spring. The light, creamy orange sauce makes asparagus a treat for the whole family, she says. Ingredients:
2 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed |
1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt |
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise |
2 tablespoons orange juice |
1 teaspoon grated orange peel |
dash cayenne pepper |
orange slices and additional orange peel, optional |
Directions:
1. Place asparagus and a small amount of water in a skillet; bring to a boil. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until crisp-tender. Meanwhile, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, orange juice, peel and cayenne. Drain asparagus; top with orange sauce. Garnish with orange slices and peel if desired. Yield: 8 servings.
