This was absolutely delicious! I served it with crackers and even my 5 year old ate it! It works as an excellent detox/cleanse for the kidneys, I could tell it was working within an hour....if you know what I mean! Awesome recipe, I will be making this one again! Thanks for posting!

this was very good!! I did about half the oil... used vegan Parmesan cheese... added some fresh basil... added some lemon juice... and some almond milk to make it more creamy/pourable ... oh, and just a little vegan mozzarella cheese... and used it for pasta! it was great!! And I dont even LIKE asparagus!! so that's sayin a WHOLE lot!!

LOVED IT...kept it really raw and vegan by using nutritional yeast, lemon and ground walnuts as my "parm"...doubled everything but the oil added sea salt, and tri pepper and served with raw crackies and sprouted alphalpha as really green sammies ...super good ! Thanks for a great recipe share...so versatile - gonna be pulling this out of my bag a tricks a lot!!

This was a good recipe, it tasted very good but I think there was a little too much oil, maybe? It might have just been me, but nevertheless thank you for a tasty dip!

Saw this on the front page of the website, and it just so happened that Asparagus season just got rolling in England, and I had a bunch in the fridge...made this in under 5 minutes...sat and ate it with a a spoon I'm ashamed to say!! Not all of it (not that greedy, but a good few nibbles!) I did add a bit of pesto just because it was around, and a bit of lemon juice to keep it from turning. Excellent recipe. Later stirred it into fresh pasta with a bit of butter...heaven it really was.

This really is fantastic! It's very creamy. I tossed it with whole-wheat spiral pasta and peas. My hubby found that it wasn't quite what he wants from pesto, but thought it would be good if you used half asparagus, half basil. Thank you for sharing this! It's perfect for spring.

I thought this was an excellent pesto. I added some pine nuts and a dash of salt and pepper. My husband and I both ate more than our fill!

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.

This was a hit at the party I brought it to! I used lemon juice instead of oil to cut down on fat, and added a bit of jalepeno for extra flavor. What a fun summer dip!

Yummy, Yummy, yummy...Whew! I saw this recipe and had to run out and buy asparagus. I am so glad I did. I can't wait to try this on many different things. Thanks for the great recipe!
