How to Make Bacon Wrapped Asparagus With Cilantro Dressing
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Steam 1 pound of baby asparagus until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process and maintain vibrant green color.
- Pat asparagus dry with paper towels.
- Wrap 3-4 asparagus spears with 1/2 slice of bacon per bundle. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
- Arrange bacon-wrapped asparagus on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until bacon is crispy.
- While asparagus is baking, prepare the dressing: In a food processor, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Pulse until smooth.
- Remove asparagus from oven and let cool slightly.
- Drizzle generously with cilantro-lime dressing and serve immediately.
