Slender spears of asparagus make elegant finger food. But don’t nibble them naked: Our stir-together aioli (garlic-flavoured mayo) is the perfect dress-up.

EVEN EASIER

Skip making the aioli. Buy bottled Béarnaise sauce in the condiment aisle of most grocery stores.

MAKE AHEAD

Cook asparagus and cool. Prepare dip. Cover both and refrigerate up to a day.
