Greener Guacamole Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 pound asparagus, trimmed
  • 1-2 avocado, pitted and peeled
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, minced
  • Salt and pepper


Optional:

  • 1 Serrano Pepper (seeds and membranes removed for less spicy)
  • 1 tomato, chopped


Directions:

  • Steam asparagus over 1-inch of boiling water
  • Cover until bright green/tender (about 3-5")_
  • Remove from steamer and set aside to cool
  • Once cool, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • Purée the asparagus in a food processor/blender
  • Add avocado, Serrano, lime juice, and garlic
  • Pulse until guacamole is desired texture
  • Stir in red onion, cilantro, and tomato
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste


Notes:

  • If you don't like asparagus, you can use peas
  • Avocado is great but still high fat
  • Adding greens is a great way to limit fat intake!
