You’ll never guess that this creamy citrusy hollandaise sauce for asparagus is made with a fraction of the calories classic hollandaise sauce has – thanks to our creamy Greek yogurt! And no need to worry about this healthier version lacking flavor – in addition to Greek yogurt, this sauce is made with butter, lemon juice and zest, egg yolks, Tabasco sauce, salt and pepper, which all come together to create an incredibly tasting sauce. Once it’s ready, serve over cooked asparagus and enjoy a bright and flavorful spring treat.

Bring one inch of water to a simmer in the bottom of a double boiler or large saucepan. Bring a kettle to a boil.

Whisk lemon juice and egg yolks in the top of the double boiler or metal bowl. Adjust heat under the double boiler so the water is at a gentle simmer. Set bowl over the simmering water in the double boiler or saucepan and whisk until the egg mixture is steaming hot and thickening, but not curdling along the edge, about 1 to 2 minutes.

Remove the egg mixture from the heat and whisk in Cabot Unsalted Butter. Then whisk in Cabot Plain Greek Yogurt, a little at a time, until smooth. Whisk in Tabasco, salt, pepper and lemon zest.

Pour boiling water from the kettle over the asparagus in a large saucepan. Set over high heat, and simmer until the asparagus is bright green and crisp tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain well and serve with the hollandaise.
