No Guilt Asparagus Guacamole

10 1/2 oz fresh, trimmed or frozen, cut asparagus
1/4 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp lime juice (lemon juice may be substituted)
2 Tbsp canned green chili peppers, drained, chopped
1 Tbsp onion, chopped
2 tsp tomato paste
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/8 tsp white pepper

Cook asparagus. Drain well; pat dry with paper towels and place in blender. Add remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth. Dip will become less thick upon standing and will need to be stirred.
