Preparation

Step 1

Snap off tough ends of asparagus (or keep asparagus in a big bunch and cut ends off with a large knife). Place asparagus in a large skillet with 1 inch of water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook asparagus until fork tender, about 6 to 12 minutes (depends on thickness); drain well and pat asparagus dry.


Meanwhile, prepare sauce. Combine salsa, sour cream and mayonnaise in a small bowl; stir well.


Lay 1 piece of ham on a flat surface; place an asparagus spear on top and roll ham up. Tie a chive around middle of ham to keep asparagus wrapped up; repeat with remaining asparagus and ham.


Place rolls on a serving platter together with sauce (in a small bowl) for dipping.
