After learning how good asparagus is for the body and how well it helps the kidneys. I thought this recipe was an excellent one. It is not cooked so the the asparagus is full of Vitamin A, Folic Acid. Did you know that asparagus has the largest percentage of RDA of folic acid then any other food source!! So eat up. This is excellent served as a dip or a spread. This recipe came from one of my favorite magazines: Organic Gardening

SERVES 8 , 1 1/4 cups (change servings and units)

Easy, and very good. We served it over brown rice this evening. Made it as written the first time so that I could rate it. Warrants the 5-stars. In subsequent versions, we've added lemon juice--keeps it bright green and adds some citrus. We've also added basil.

Awesome - had just a little over a cup of fresh asparagus, so made this. Ate it with tortilla chips. Thanks for a new way to use up asparagus. Just had to add a note. My dh who hates asparagus tried this and liked it. I kind of forgot to tell him it was made with asparagus.
