- 1 medium Anaheim chile (or for extra heat, 1 serrano chile)
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 5 or 6 fresh asparagus spears, ends trimmed
- 1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
- 2 medium avocados, cut into cubes (about 2 cups)
- 1 plum tomato, seeded and diced
- 1 tbsp chopped green onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice (or more to taste)
- Dash garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- Baked tortilla chips
- Preheat broiler.
- Wearing rubber gloves to protect your skin, rub chile with oil; broil 5 minutes, turning with tongs so all sides get charred.
- Transfer to a plastic bag, seal and set aside to steam 10 minutes.
- Remove stem, skin and seeds from chile and dice.
- Set aside.
- (Remove gloves only when you are finished handling the chile.)
- Fill medium saute pan halfway with water and bring to a boil.
- Prepare a medium-sized bowl of ice water.
- Place asparagus spears into boiling water 3 to 4 minutes or until just tender.
- Remove and plunge spears into ice water to halt cooking and preserve color.
- When cool, remove, dry thoroughly and chop into 1-inch pieces.
- Transfer to blender or food processor, add yogurt and avocado and process until smooth.
- Transfer to a mixing bowl and stir in remaining ingredients (except chips).
- Serve with baked tortilla chips.
