GUILT FREE GUACAMOLE ( ASPARAGUS )
I could eat tons of this, and I do. You can also use canned asparagus, but this is amazing with the fresh (and yes, more expensive) stuff.

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.

My husband found this recipe on a texmextogo.com but it is no longer posted there. We serve it as a dip or on a bed of shredded lettuce as a side salad. Many of our friends have asked for the recipe.
