How to Make Asparagus With Mustard Dill Sauce
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of asparagus spears and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Immediately drain the asparagus and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and thoroughly pat dry with paper towels.
- While the asparagus cooks, prepare the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon honey, and salt and pepper to taste. Add more mayonnaise for a creamier sauce, or more Dijon for extra tang.
- Arrange the asparagus on a serving platter. Drizzle a generous amount of the creamy mustard dill sauce over the asparagus. Serve immediately or chill for later. Pass the remaining sauce separately for guests to add as desired.
