Interesting, lower fat than traditional guac, a great way to get an extra "green veggie", and most importantly, IT TASTES GREAT! :) Yum! I have had this recipe in my cookbook for some time, and am glad that I decided to take the plunge. I would have never considered subbing asparagus for the avocado in guac, but it is incredibly tasty. This is a winner.
