Remember the recipe video for Mint Green Pea Soup I shared with you a few weeks ago? I was so inspired by the sweet, refreshing taste of the green peas that I decided to create another green pea recipe: a Green Pea Avocado Spread. You can have this as a dip with your favorite raw vegetables, as a topping on your salads or zucchini pasta, or as a creamy filling in a quick raw vegan wrap.
Green Pea Avocado Spread
SERVES: +/- 2 cups
EQUIPMENT: food processor, rubber spatula
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups of green peas, fresh or frozen
1 small avocado, pitted and roughly chopped
3 tablespoons of green onion or chives, finely chopped
2 ½ tablespoons of lime juice ¼ + 1/8 teaspoon of Himalayan crystal salt or sea salt 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper Extra green onion or chives, finely chopped (for garnish)
DIRECTIONS:
Combine green peas, avocado, green onion, lime juice, salt and black pepper in the food processor fitted with an S-blade. Process until well combined.
JULIE’S TIPS & TRICKS:
- This Green Pea Avocado Spread will stay fresh for at least 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Would you like to boost the flavor of this creamy spread even more? Add a small handful of finely chopped cilantro and ½ small clove of garlic for extra freshness and punch.
- Want to use this spread as the base for a fancy appetizer? Serve it on top of Belgian endive with some finely chopped green onion and sprouts.
