Green Pea Mint Dip

Ingredient List

1 ⅔ cups (250g) green peas, frozen
1 clove garlic
2 tbsp. lemon juice
½ avocado
2-3 sprigs fresh mint, leaves only
Salt & pepper, to taste

Directions

Defrost the peas: Place the frozen peas in a bowl and cover them with boiling water. Let them sit for a few minutes until they are defrosted, then drain the water and transfer the peas to a food processor or blender.
Blend the ingredients: Add the garlic, lemon juice, avocado, mint leaves, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the peas. Blend until smooth. If the dip is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of cold water until you reach your desired consistency.
Serve and enjoy: Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve it with fresh vegetables, crackers, pita bread, or even as a spread for sandwiches.
