(Lowfat) Asparagus Guacamole

[Guest guest]

Hi here is a nice alternative to the otherwise high fat guacamole, add a little

bit of tobasco or chili sauce to give it a little more zest. the whole recipe

is 1 point and it makes about 12 servings so enjoy. Try this as a pita sandwich

topper with canned refried beans ( or just mash kidey beans) lettuce, tomato,

and this on a pita bread and there you'd have a 2-3 point sandwich

Enjoy

Combine asparagus and water in a 2-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil over

veggies or tortilla chips.
