Directions
Combine asparagus and water in a 2-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat to medium-low. Simmer 8 to 10 minutes, or until asparagus is tender. Rinse with cold water; drain. Blot asparagus with paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Combine asparagus, yogurt and lemon juice in a food processor or blender. Process until smooth. In a medium mixing bowl, combine asparagus mixture and remaining ingredients.
Chill, if desired. Serve with raw veggies or tortilla chips.
