- Make the creamy asparagus spread: Combine the cooked asparagus, cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender. Process until smooth.
- Serve the creamy asparagus spread: Serve the spread immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use. It can be served on crackers, bread, or vegetables.
