Asparagus with hollandaise sauce

Overview

Hollandaise sauce is similar to mayonnaise. Although it is high in oil and heat, the addition of lemon juice not only increases the fruity aroma, but also makes it refreshing and flavorful. There doesn’t need to be too much sauce, just a little dipping can enhance the taste of the asparagus, so you don’t have to worry about excessive calories. In addition to asparagus, it also goes well on other vegetables that are boiled or eaten raw.
