Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

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)

Dash garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
