Here's one I found on the net ages ago during my dieting days. Wonderful flavor. Ingredients:
12 fresh asparagus spears |
2 tablespoons fat-free mayonnaise |
1 tablespoon sweet brown mustard |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel, divided |
Directions:
1. Take the asparagus and steam them until their texture is crisp-tender and they are bright green. Immediately drain the asparagus and rinse them under cold water, then cover and refrigerate until they are chilled.
2. In a small bowl combine the mayonnaise with the mustard and lemon juice and blend the mixture well, then stir in 1/2 teaspoon of lemon peel and set aside.
3. Take the chilled asparagus and divide it between 2 plates, then spoon 2 tablespoons of lemon-mustard dressing over the top of each serving, and sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon lemon peel over each serving. Garnish if desired.
