Asparagus is great as a chilled side dish or appetizer. I had to put something together quickly for a party recently and made this in about 20 minutes. The aioli is so delicious as a dip for the chilled asparagus...along with many other things!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup light mayonaise
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch of asparagus
Mix mayo and garlic. Chill to blend flavors for about 30 minutes.
Cut 2-3" off the bottom of the asparagus bunch and rinse well. Put into a pot of boiling water for about 3 minutes. Asparagus will be a bright green after boiling. Drain asparagus and immediately submerge into a bowl of cold ice water. Chill in the fridge for about and hour. Serve with aioli. Crunch, crunch.
