Ever had orange mayonnaise? In this recipe, the intriguing combination of flavors is prefect with asparagus, making it a citrusy and delicious side dish. Set aside an extra ten minutes in your dinner making plans and try this out-of-the-box veggie recipe! Oh, and pro tip: To ensure even cooking in the microwave, arrange the asparagus spears so that their tips face the center of the dish.

Ingredients

Asparagus

1 pound(s), trimmed

Water

¼ cup(s)

Fat free mayonnaise

½ cup(s)

Orange zest

1 Tbsp, grated

Orange juice

2 Tbsp, or bottled

Lemon juice canned or bottled

1 Tbsp

Fresh parsley

1 Tbsp, fresh, finely chopped

Honey

½ tsp

Garlic

1 clove(s), minced

Instructions

  1. Place the asparagus in a large microwavable dish. Cover with plastic wrap and vent one corner. Microwave on High until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes; drain. Arrange the spears on a platter. Let cool, if desired.
  2. To prepare the orange mayonnaise, stir together the remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Spoon the mayonnaise over the asparagus. Yields about 5 asparagus and 21/2 tablespoons mayonnaise per serving.
