Asparagus Guacamole ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #asparagus #recipe

I showed up at my parents’ place for one of our early summer get-togethers with the fixin’s for Taco Cups as requested by my nephew a couple weeks ago and we decided we needed some guacamole to go with them. The task fell to my dad to make them because I was busy with the taco cups and my sister was making some enchiladas to add to our Mexican feast. I expected him to start mashing up avocadoes, but he started out with something I totally didn’t expect.


He pulled some leftover cooked asparagus from the fridge and blended it up … I was confused … what the heck was he up to?  He proceeded to add salsa and then he mashed up some avocado to go with it. One taste and I was UPSET! They had apparently been making this deliciousness for years and had never told me about it! My dad and sister apologized … they thought they’d told me … in fact, my dad said he thought the recipe came from me.

Actually, my sister discovered it in the Moosewood Cookbook years ago. However did I miss that? I totally LOVE this stuff.
