How to Make Asparagus With No Cook Creamy Mustard Sauce

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until smooth and creamy.
  2. Set the sauce aside.
  3. Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat.
  4. Add 1 pound asparagus spears to the boiling water. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover tightly, and simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until asparagus is tender-crisp but still bright green.
  5. Remove asparagus from the skillet and drain well on paper towels.
  6. Gently toss the asparagus with the creamy mustard sauce.
  7. Arrange asparagus on a serving platter and spoon any remaining sauce over the top.
  8. Garnish with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
