Green Asparagus with Lemon Hollandaise

Grüner Ofen-Spargel mit veganer, zitroniger Sauce Hollandaise. Veganes Spargelrezept. Schnell und einfach grünen Spargel zubereiten

Spring season is so adorable! After the long, cold and dark winter in Berlin (I always ask my boyfriend why we need to live in Winterfell… 🙂 ) finally, I can go on long and relaxed walks without freezing, all the trees show their first bright green leaves and the days get longer every day. But of course spring love is not just about more warmth, light and good weather, but also great seasonal vegetables and fruits. So, let’s start with oven asparagus and a deliciously creamy lemon hollandaise. A meal that is simply awesome. I already found the first strawberries here, but of course you can wait a bit longer for the local strawberries to have their season. Whatever you like. Here is a tip from me: Try the super delicious Hollandaise as a dip for strawberries! Sounds weird? Yes, I know, but I could not stop eating the strawberries straight with the sauce. So, get the healthy, delicious vegetables! I’m looking forward to your feedback, all the best Lea
