Рецепт Roasted Asparagus Skinny Guacamole
Guacamole – minus the avocados!
Join us for week two of our Clean Eating Challenge with Donna’s Roasted Asparagus Guacamole recipe. You’ve got to see it to believe it… delicious!
Yes, you read that right. Avocado-free guacamole.
This is what happens when you are craving guacamole but you have no avocados in your fridge and the ones at the store are rock hard.
What I did have was several bunches of asparagus just begging to be roasted. And so, I thought - Why Not? Desperation, not inspiration, is often the Mother of Invention in my kitchen.
This guacamole with roasted asparagus is delicious – and has much less fat than avocados – win -win, I say.
I just added all the things I normally add to guacamole – ok, I did also add one tablespoon of mayo just for the creaminess. (You could omit that if you’re being extra virtuous). But everything else is what I typically use in guacamole: green chiles, a little lime juice and a bit of hot sauce.
I asked the hubs to guess the “secret ingredient” before we started the photo session, and he couldn’t guess. Then when I told him that I had used asparagus, he not only didn’t believe me – he actually went to the garbage can to look for avocado peels. No, I am not making that up. He raved and raved about this and asked me to make it this way from now on. I plan to – for at least as long as asparagus is cheaper than avocados!
