"Is this possible?" you ask. YES! I got this (modified a bit to suit my taste) from the Biggest Loser Cookbook, a show I've never seen but heard a lot about. It almost doesn't seem real, it's so good.
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
2 1/2 Tbsp powdered salsa mix (I found this in the produce section-it's a little packet at walmart)
1/2 c fat free plain yogurt or sour cream
3/4 c mild salsa
1 roma tomato, chopped
In a pot, add the asparagus and two cups of water. Boil for 5 minutes or so. Drain. Process in a food processor, add salsa mix, yogurt. Blend. Put the mixture into a bowl and add the salsa and tomato, stirring to combine.
Eat with low fat baked corn tortilla chips.
Unbelievable. I'm serving it to the family tonight in the guise of "guacamole to go with our baked chicken and black bean taquitos."

Yum! Funny...I have a great tofu Pumpkin Pie recipe that my hubby has no idea what's hiding in it.

You sound like a very good cook. I have a similar recipe but made with broccoli stems - brocomolli! Keep up the good eats!

Isn't this just the best? Chef Devin Alexander has tons of other great recipes that you would never guess are so good for you. Her crab dip, also in "The Biggest Loser" cookbook, is one of my all time favorites!
