Jarred white asparagus dip
Servings: 4
One of my favourite quick and easy entertainer’s hacks is a jarred artichoke (or asparagus!) dip, utilising the flavour and fibrousness of someone else’s handiwork, with a few creamy, zippy additions, to feel like you’ve gone to a lot of effort. You’ll find jarred white asparagus at continental delis, but you could easy use tinned green asparagus, well drained, for a budget option. You can use Philadelphia cream cheese, or splash out on Neufchatel if you’re feeling fancy. Serve with crusty bread, crackers, or even some blanched asparagus spears (instructions here)!
