Asparagus with Vegan Hollandaise Sauce
by Laura Theodore on Dec 6, 2012
Asparagus is an elegant vegetable that is ideal to serve at any holiday gathering. Paired with rich tasting vegan "hollandaise" sauce, it makes the perfect side dish.
My grandmother often served asparagus with a rich hollandaise sauce, that as a child, I loved. So, I came up with this easy to prepare vegan version that tastes delicious and is low in fat too!
