Ingredients
Directions
Fill the bottom of a pot with about an inch of water and place over medium-high heat. When the water comes to a boil, add the asparagus. Cook until tender, about five to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the hollandaise sauce: Cut lemon in half. Squeeze out the juice and remove any seeds.
Place avocado mayo in a small bowl. Whisk in lemon juice, one tablespoon at a time, until the mayo is thinned enough to spoon or drizzle as a sauce.
Heat the sauce in a small saucepan or in the microwave in 10-second intervals until warm.
Remove asparagus from the water and drain on clean kitchen towels to remove excess water.
Place asparagus on a plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon on a small amount of the warmed hollandaise sauce.

With a delicate, grassy flavor and a tender green hue, asparagus is a go-to side dish for pairing with sumptuous salmon and sturdy steaks. While many restaurants simply toss this vibrant, snappy veggie with olive oil and spices, then roast or grill, we prefer our asparagus with a little more contrast.
The sumptuous texture and rich, lemony undertone of our mock Hollandaise sauce recipe provide an ideal contrast to the crisp, pungent earthiness of steamed asparagus. Made with our creamy, classic Mayo, this dreamy sauce cloaks the fresh spring produce in a velvety cape of honest ingredients and real flavor. While spring is the ultimate season to enjoy asparagus, the year-round availability at many stores makes this recipe a perfect dish to serve from early spring through the New Year.
