Fresh Asparagus with Curry Dip

Recipe by Bailey Sissom

This creamy curry dip is made with just four ingredients—mayonnaise, lemon juice, grated onion, and curry powder—for bold, tangy flavor with minimal effort. It’s the perfect quick appetizer or side for serving with a veggie platter.

  • Total Time5 minutes
  • Yield6 servings 1x

Ingredients

  • Mayonnaise (1½ cups | 360g)
  • Curry powder (2 tsp | 4g)
  • Lemon juice (½ tbsp | 7ml)
  • Grated onion (1½ tbsp | 15g)
  • Fresh vegetables for serving – see notes below for suggestions

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, add mayonnaise (1½ cups), curry powder (2 tsp), lemon juice (½ tbsp), and grated onion (1½ tbsp).
  2. Stir until the dip is fully combined and smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional curry powder or lemon juice, if needed.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors develop.
  4. Before serving, stir again and serve with raw vegetables, potato chips, or as part of a veggie platter.

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Stir before serving, as some separation may occur. Freezing is not recommended—the texture changes once thawed.

Vegetables for Dipping: This dip pairs well with blanched asparagus (see note below) celery sticks, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper strips, carrot sticks, cucumber rounds, radishes, and snap peas. Wash and dry all raw vegetables thoroughly before serving.

Blanched Asparagus (My Favorite): Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add trimmed asparagus and cook for 1–2 minutes, just until bright green and crisp-tender. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking, then pat dry. Serve cold or at room temperature.
