ASPARAGUS APPETIZER - SPEAR ECSTASY
This is a wonderful light apetizer. I served it at a luncheon and all asked for the recipe. My son-in-law did the "taste test" for me and wanted any left-overs. (Re the capers listed below: it does take 1 tbsp PLUS 1 tsp, drained and chopped) Recipe from Food Network.

Steps:
- To make Dipping Sauce: Mix well the sour cream, mayo, onion, lemon juice, capers, tarragon, onion powder, sugar and pepper together using a whisk.
- Refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.
- Steam asparagus until fork tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Mix Ice Bath together in large bowl. Plunge asparagus into ice water and let sit until cold.

- Refrigerate.
- Serve chilled asparagus with dipping sauce.
- Note Do Ahead tips: The dipping sauce can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and regrigerated. The asparagus can be prepared 1 day in advance and refrigerated.

CRUNCH CRAZY ASPARAGUS SPEARS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Prepare the asparagus by trimming off the tough woody stem.
- Set up a breading station by whipping the egg whites and mayonnaise together (the mayonnaise helps the whites stick to the asparagus). Sprinkle with some salt and pepper.
- In a separate, dish add the panko, Parmesan, Italian seasoning and paprika. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and mix. Dip each asparagus spear in the egg wash and then coat evenly in the seasoned panko breadcrumbs. Place the spears on a wire rack over a baking sheet and lightly drizzle with some olive oil (this will help them crisp up).
- Bake until golden and crispy, 15 to 17 minutes. Serve immediately.
