Asparagus 'Guacamole'
Share recipe
Description
This is an avocado-less recipe that can be served with veggies or low-fat chips. Very spicy so you may want to cut back on the hot pepper sauce or jalapeno peppers.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds asparagus, cut into small pieces
- 1 tablespoon fat-free Greek-style yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- ½ jalapeno pepper, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tomato, diced
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 dash hot pepper sauce
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
- 1. Place the asparagus into a steamer insert and set into a pot over one inch of water; bring the water to a boil. Place a cover on the pot and steam the asparagus for 5 minutes. Transfer the asparagus to the bowl of a food processor and puree until smooth.
- 2. Combine the asparagus puree with the yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, green onions, jalapeno pepper, garlic, tomato, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce in a large bowl; gently stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Chill in refrigerator until completely cooled.
