Recipe by: Rosie Daley from "In the Kitchen with Rosie" Bring water to the boil in the bottom of a steamer. Fit the baket into the steamer. Steam the asparagus over medium high heat for about 6 minutes, until bright green and tender. Remove the steamer from the heat and let the asparagus cool.

Combine the yogurt and blue cheese in a small saucepan. Warm over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes, whisking constantly, just until the blue cheese has melted. Remov the pan from the heat and whisk in the lemon juice, chives and garlic.

Arrange the asparagus in the centrer of a serving plate and ring with the tomato wedges. Drizzle the yogurt dressing over the asparagus. Sprinkle wi pepper and garnish with the fennel.
