I love veggies and dip. Not because it’s relatively healthy but because I love the crunch and color of raw vegetables dipped into a creamy and flavorful dip. Today I made this asparagus & green goddess dip because I was craving asparagus and and thought it would be good with dip. I remember my mom making green goddess dressing as a kid and just loved it.  My husband was on a business dip and I ended up eating this for dinner one day!

The asparagus are simple to make. I just steamed them for a few minutes because I wanted them cooked but not soggy. I could have gone a step further and blanched them but I didn’t. The green goddess dip is very simple as well.  Take a bunch of fresh herbs, garlic, anchovy paste, mayo, sour cream, lemon juice and cream cheese and give it a whirl in the food processor or blender. This recipe makes a lot of dip so if you don’t want or need that much, cut the recipe in half.

I used the cream cheese to thicken it up a bit but if you want to make this more of a dressing keep it out. This would be a pretty dish to serve at a spring party. I’ve often carved a bowl out of a purple head of cabbage and put dip in it. Then you can just display the asparagus spears around it. Another pretty dip for a party is this lemony beet hummus. I love bright pink color of that dish too.
