28   Asparagus spears - trimmed
1/2 cup 118mlNonfat yogurt
1 tablespoon 15mlBlue cheese - crumbled
1/4 cup 59mlLemon juice
1 tablespoon 15mlChives

Recipe Instructions

Bring water to the boil in the bottom of a steamer. Fit the basket into the steamer. Steam the asparagus over medium high heat for about 6 minutes, until bright green and tender. Remove the steamer from the heat and let the asparagus cool.

Combine the yogurt and blue cheese in a small saucepan. Warm over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes, whisking constantly, just until the blue cheese has melted. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the lemon juice, chives and garlic.

Arrange the asparagus in the center of a serving plate and ring with the tomato wedges. Drizzle the yogurt dressing over the asparagus. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper and garnish with the fennel.
