How to Make Asparagus Crab Dip

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Steam or blanch 1 pound of asparagus until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Immediately plunge into ice water to stop cooking and then roughly chop.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of sour cream, and the chopped asparagus.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 (6 ounce) can of drained crab meat.
  5. Pour the mixture into an ungreased 1-quart baking dish.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving warm with crackers, baguette slices, and your favorite fresh vegetables.
