CURRIED CRAB ASPARAGUS CHEESY TOFU DIP
You just can't stop eating this! Think of it as crab-artichoke dip, but with asparagus in place. The asparagus adds texture and color where artichokes get mushy and lost in the dip. I could eat the entire recipe as a meal. It may not make much, but it's worth it! Leftovers can be reheated the same way. RSC4
