Sweet Pea and Asparagus Guacamole image

I decided it was time to switch up guacamole, so I got creative for this recipe. My local farmers market had beautiful snow peas and asparagus that I incorporated. When squash blossoms are in season, I like to add those, too. -Amie Valpone, New York, New York
