Asparagus with Citrus Cream Sauce



I walked past an awesome looking bunch of asparagus in the grocery store the other day and HAD to have it! Anyone else love asparagus like I do?
Asparagus with Citrus Cream Sauce:
1 medium sized orange
1 large lime
1 c. light sour cream
1/8 tsp. white pepper
1 to 2 bunches fresh asparagus
Sauce: From colored surfaces of orange and lime, grate enough of the orange peel to make 1 tsp. and enough of the lime peel to make 1/2 tsp. From centers, cut 1 or 2 thin slices, wrap and chill. Squeeze 3 tbsp. orange juice and 1 tbsp. lime juice. Mix juice, peel, sour cream and pepper. Cover and chill.
Cook asparagus and drain well, then place on a warm platter. Garnish with orange and lime slices. Salt lightly and serve with sauce.
