Instructions
  1. Place a large pot of salted water over high heat and bring to a boil. Prepare an ice bath by placing ice and cold water in a large bowl.
  2. While the water is coming to a boil, trim the lower 2/3 of each asparagus spear. Discard any wilted spears.
  3. Add the asparagus to boiling water and cook until almost tender, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer the asparagus to the ice bath and let cool completely. When cool, remove from ice bath and drain in a colander. Set aside.
  4. To make the garlic dip, place the mayonnaise, olive oil, Parmesan cheese and garlic in a food processor and process until smooth. Season to taste with the salt and pepper.
