To trim down traditional guacamole, I experimented with asparagus instead. My husband and our three hungry sons say this chunky low-fat version is as tasty as the original. I love the guilt-free dipping. -Judi Hammer of Litilz, Pennsylvania

I accidentally used too much lime juice and my guacamole was way too sour.

I'm allergic to avocado, so I used mashed green peas instead. It was still delicious!
