2 tablespoons light mayonnaise dressing or salad dressing
1/2 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
Dash ground red pepper

2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine the yogurt, mayonnaise dressing or salad dressing, orange peel, and ground red pepper. Spoon over hot asparagus. If desired, garnish with orange slices. Makes 4 servings.
