Comment préparer Asparagus With Watercress Sauce

Snap off the tough ends of 1 pound of asparagus spears.
If steaming, place asparagus in a steamer basket over a saucepan of simmering water. Cover and steam for 2-3 minutes, or until tender-crisp and bright green.
Alternatively, microwave asparagus in a microwave-safe dish with a tablespoon of water for 2-3 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
Reserve 4 sprigs of watercress for garnish. Add the remaining 1 cup of watercress to a food processor along with 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/4 cup mayonnaise.
Process until almost smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Add a squeeze of lemon juice (optional, for extra zing).
Divide the asparagus spears among serving plates. Top each serving with a reserved watercress sprig and a generous spoonful of the watercress sauce.
