Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds asparagus spears or two 10-ounce packages frozen asparagus spears
• 1/4 cup whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or salad dressing
• 2 tablespoons sliced green onion (1)
• 3 - 4 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
• 1 hard-cooked egg, finely chopped (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Snap off and discard woody bases from fresh asparagus (see photo, below). If desired, scrape off scales. Cook fresh asparagus, covered, in a small amount of boiling water for 4 to 6 minutes or till crisp-tender. (Or, cook frozen asparagus according to the package directions.) Drain; keep warm.

2. Meanwhile, for sauce, beat whipping cream just till stiff peaks form. Fold in mayonnaise, green onion, mustard, and, if desired, egg. Spoon sauce atop asparagus. Serve immediately. Makes 6 servings.
