What a great, simple and quick sauce. It sure kicks asparagus up a notch. We had quite a bit leftover, so will try it on some other veggies later in the week. Next time I will be braver and add a little more of the wasabi paste.

Sensational combination of flavours. Made the sauce exactly as written using Recipe #207860 for the mayo. I can imagine many more uses for this wonderful sauce -- tonight we also drizzled it on our steaks and mashed potatoes. I think I'll make it again this week as a dip for Friday night drinks at work. Thanks so much for posting.

I love this sauce, and it is definitely my favorite way to eat veggies now. But, I prefer to roast the asparagus in oil for 12 minutes at 400*F or to fry it in a tablespoon of oil for 5 minutes over the much faster blanching. It just wasn't crisp enough for my liking.

Made this for a side with Mahi Mahi and asparagus - tasty! Added onion powder.
