Recipe Directions
1. Process the heck out of the asparagus until it is smooth and creamy.
2. Stir in the rest of the ingredients and season with salt and pepper. If you are not concerned about fat intake, add half an avocado or a few tablespoons of nut butter or nut mylk for extra creaminess.
Juleskess's Thoughts
By juleskess This is a delicious fat-free alternative to guacamole.
I could eat my own weight in guacamole if left to my own devices and this is a lighter alternative.
This also makes a great salad dressing if you increase the lime juice to make it a liquid.

Yes, add the tops, I meant the whole stalk. I love corn in my salsa and guac so I always add it, but if you are not the corn type, leave it out, it is not necessary (though if you add half of the ear's corn in the food processor when you are blending it adds a creamy thickness that is nice). It does end up tasting like guac. The asparagus taste is mild and gets overshadowed by the salsa-y flavor of the tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic and lime. End up being guac-a-licious.

This is absolutely wonderful. I have been looking long and hard for a fat free guacamole/avacado dip. I looked up "avacado powder" and you can only buy it in 50 pound boxes! Not good for a single/widowed person! I will definitely try this recipe in the next few days. I wonder how different it might be if you cooked the asparagus first?

Thanks for posting this. I've been looking for more raw asparagus ideas and I'm on the line about avocado. Some days i love it and other days it's borderline yucky to me. i guess my body's needs are still adjusting.

RCBAlive, I think you would love the "Marriage Proposal Tamarind Dipping Sauce" from this site. If you were to replace the nuts with the pureed asparagus, it would be deliciously Caribbean and tangy AND low fat. As for pesto, I'd say puree the asparagus, garlic, scallions, basil and add a few pine nuts for flavor and a bit of nutritional yeast (if you eat it) to add the cheesy flavor of pesto.

Oh, and YES, it would make a wicked base for a pesto. Stellar idea.
