ASPARAGUS GUACAMOLE AND CHIPS



Asparagus Guacamole and Chips image

Categories     Food Processor     Onion     Tomato     Cocktail Party     Super Bowl     Low Fat     Vegetarian     Yogurt     Asparagus     Avocado     Self

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium Anaheim chile (or for extra heat, 1 serrano chile)
1 tsp olive oil
5 or 6 fresh asparagus spears, ends trimmed
1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
2 medium avocados, cut into cubes (about 2 cups)
1 plum tomato, seeded and diced
1 tbsp chopped green onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tbsp fresh lime juice (or more to taste)
Dash garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Baked tortilla chips

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler. Wearing rubber gloves to protect your skin, rub chile with oil; broil 5 minutes, turning with tongs so all sides get charred. Transfer to a plastic bag, seal and set aside to steam 10 minutes. Remove stem, skin and seeds from chile and dice. Set aside. (Remove gloves only when you are finished handling the chile.) Fill medium sauté pan halfway with water and bring to a boil. Prepare a medium-sized bowl of ice water. Place asparagus spears into boiling water 3 to 4 minutes or until just tender. Remove and plunge spears into ice water to halt cooking and preserve color. When cool, remove, dry thoroughly and chop into 1-inch pieces. Transfer to blender or food processor, add yogurt and avocado and process until smooth. Transfer to a mixing bowl and stir in remaining ingredients (except chips). Serve with baked tortilla chips.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe avocados. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color and slightly soft to the touch.
  • If you don't have time to roast the asparagus, you can blanch it instead. To blanch asparagus, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the asparagus is bright green and tender. Immediately transfer the asparagus to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • To make the guacamole ahead of time, simply prepare the guacamole according to the recipe and then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve the guacamole with tortilla chips, pita bread, or vegetable crudités.

Conclusion:

This asparagus guacamole dip is a delicious and healthy appetizer or snack. It's perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a casual get-together. The avocado and asparagus are both packed with nutrients, and the Greek yogurt adds a tangy flavor. This dip is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
