Sweet Pea Guacamole

This recipe is a breeze to whip up, packed with nutrition, and has become a staple in my kitchen—whether I’m serving it on a snack board, spreading it on sandwiches, or pairing it with crisp veggies.
Yield: 14 servings (makes 1 ¾ cups)
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups frozen green peas, thawed
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 medium lemon, juiced (~2 tablespoons)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder, or 2 minced cloves
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients to a food processor or high-speed blender. Process until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste and adjust seasoning to your personal preference.

Notes

Variations
  • Spice it up: Add a pinch of cayenne and/or a dash of smoked paprika for a little kick.
  • Add herbs: Mix in 2 Tbsp of minced cilantro and ½ tsp ground cumin for a southwestern flair. Or, add 2 Tbsp of chopped mint for a refreshing summer twist.
  • Make it extra zesty: If you love citrus, add some lemon zest (start with ½ tsp and add more as needed) for a bright finish.
  • Turn it into a dressing: you can thin it out by adding a tablespoon of two of water until you reach the desired consistency.
Storage Instructions
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I haven’t tried freezing this dip, so I’m not sure if it’s worth trying (I’m nervous it’ll become watery as it defrosts).
