Add some extra nutrients to the classic party dip by making it a green pea guacamole. The taste of a traditional guac it still there, but the health benefits and protein power are amped up. Serve with tortilla chips and veggie crudite or as a spread for tacos to keep it on the healthy side.

Ingredients

  • 2 handful cilantro leaves

  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed under warm running water

  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice plus more to taste

  • 1 clove garlic

  • 1 teaspoon jalapeño or serrano, minced

  • 1 tsp sea salt plus more to taste

  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

  • pinch of cumin

  • 2 large ripe avocados pitted and peeled and chopped into rough chunks

Place everything except the avocado in a food processor and blend until smooth. Add the avocado, and pulse a few times until they are incorporated, but still chunky.

Serve with chips and veggie crudite, or use as a spread on tortillas. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
