Asparagus with Lemon Cheese Sauce
The asparagus shoots are just starting to poke their heads out of the ground in our garden. It's always so exciting! This recipe is very easy. You can adjust the amount of cheese to milk ratio to your liking.
Asparagus Stems, washed and trimmed
3 Tablespoons Cream Cheese (dairy, or non-dairy)
1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
Fresh herbs of choice
1/2 Cup Milk
S&P to taste
Steam asparagus until just tender...not soggy. Meanwhile, add cream cheese, lemon and milk to blender and blend until smooth. Add more milk if the mixture is too thick. Arrange asparagus on plate and pour cheese sauce over it. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs of your choice, if desired. Serve.
