Almost Guacamole

This is really good! I had just purchased fresh asparagus and tomatoes and was wondering what to do with them. I went to www.bettycrocker.com and found a recipe for, basically, guacamole with asparagus instead of avocado. I changed it from the original recipe because of what I had on hand.

2 bunches asparagus, cut, steamed and drained*

1 large tomato, seeded and chopped (1 cup)

1 small onion, chopped (1/2 cup)

2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro

2 Tbsp reduced-fat mayonnaise

1 Tbsp lime juice (or lemon, whatever you have)

3-6 drops hot sauce

1/8 tsp black pepper

1 garlic clove, finely chopped

Baked tortilla chips, if desired

Place asparagus and lemon juice in a food processor and process until smooth. Stir together asparagus and remaining ingredients except chips. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour to blend flavors.

*The original recipe called for 1 can asparagus, drained. I used fresh. I put them in a microwave steamer with some water for 5 minutes to cook.
