How to Make Almost Guacamole

  1. Wash and trim 1 pound of asparagus. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
  2. In a blender or food processor, blend the asparagus on medium speed until completely smooth. This may take a few minutes.
  3. In a medium glass or plastic bowl, combine the blended asparagus with 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Stir to thoroughly combine all ingredients.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it chills, the better it tastes!
  6. Serve chilled with your favorite tortilla chips. Enjoy!
