With a suitable dressing, Asparagus spears will give you a healthy and crunchy meal that keep the flavours for some time.This is how I cooked Asparagus with lemon dressing! I am sure you will enjoy this easy and quick recipe with a flavourful dressing.

Yes, I love to eat Asparagus.It is delicious when boiled or even grilled.But you need to prepare the right salad dressing to pair with it!

Although I cook other cuisines at home,most of my cooking don’t appear here in Food Corner.It is simply due to the lack of time.(sigh!) šŸ™‚

But,I finally found time to update Food Corner frequently.I hope you will not get bored with my new recipes. šŸ™‚ Of course,there will be regular updates with Sri Lankan recipes too!

For the dressing,remember to adjust salt and pepper as per taste.Secret of this Asparagus dish is its salad dressing.Therefore pay more attention to the ingredients and flavours when you prepare it.Also,don’t forget to whisk well after you add mayonnaise.Mayonnaise can keep lumps if you do not whisk well.

Wow! This looks amazing. I usually cook Asparagus with garlic so I am surprised that your recipe does not contain any garlic. I will need to replace the mayonnaise with something else as it is not something I use.

I can nail this all day long. It might be better having some bacon strips on it just for an additional taste. This is one of my favorites.
