  • To make the tarragon cream, place the cream cheese in a small bowl and then mix in the apple cider vinegar, lemon juice and tarragon leaves. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Place the asparagus spears into a pot of boiling water, cover the pot and simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, until just tender. Transfer the asparagus to a colander and rinse under cold running water. Slice the asparagus spears diagonally and set aside.
