This is easy, yummy and looks elegant when served for company. I've also used the sauce for a "tarter" to dip for sweet potato fries.

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

2 lbs asparagus
olive oil
kosher salt

Directions

1
Mix together the mayo, sour cream, oil, capers, juice, thyme, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Trim asparagus and place in a shollow baking dish.
3
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

This was so good on the fresh organic asparagus I bought at the farmers' market! Mmm!! The sauce tasted really delicious on the lamb meatballs I made for dinner tonight. I am making this sauce again for a small dinner party tomorrow night and serving it with freshly steamed baby artichokes! Thank you! Reviewed for ZWT 2009.

Perfection - especially with asparagus now in season here. The dressing was lovely, with lots of zing from the lemons and capers.

I saw and tried a version of this on the Seattle Times site, which called for steaming the asparagus. Roasting the asparagus makes it taste so much better though. The dipping sauce is quite tasty and a very nice addition to the asparagus.

A surprisingly tasty dish! The asparagus was sweet and the sauce tangy. I used plain yogurt in place of the sour cream (ran out), so left out the oil from the sauce so it wouldn't be too thin. Still yummy! Next time I would chop the capers, but other than that wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for the great lunch! This dipping sauce would be great for other vegetables as a healthier alternative to ranch or bleu cheese dip/sauce. Made for ZWT5.
