Ingredients:

Serving

1 ripe california avocado
1/3 cup milk (approx ., 75 ml)
1/4 cup fresh basil leaf (50 ml)
1 tbsp lemon juice (15 ml)
salt and pepper (1 ml)
1 pinch crushed hot pepper flakes
16 california asparagus spears, trimmed
1/2 small red pepper, very thinly sliced
1/4 cup very thinly sliced red onion (50 ml)
3 slices prosciutto , thin slices torn into pieces
2 loaves prepared plain flat bread (30cm x 18cm) or 2 loaves focaccia bread, about 12 x 7 inch (30cm x
2 tbsp olive oil (30 ml)
2 garlic cloves, minced

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Meanwhile, purée avocado with milk, basil, lemon juice, salt, pepper and pepper flakes, in a blender or food processor until smooth. (Add extra milk as needed to achieve a mixture that is easy to drizzle.).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add asparagus; after 1 minute add red pepper and cook for 2 minutes longer. Transfer asparagus and red pepper to an ice water bath; drain and dry well. Cut the asparagus in half, lengthwise.
Blend oil with garlic and brush evenly over the flatbreads; bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp and golden; transfer to a cutting board. Drizzle half of the avocado mixture over the flatbreads. Garnish with asparagus, red pepper, onion and prosciutto; drizzle with additional sauce. Makes 8 entrée servings.
Tip: Substitute the prepared flatbreads with store–bought or homemade pizza dough; roll out to size and increase the baking time to 15 minutes.
