Sweet Pea Guacamole

Peas add a little sweetness and chunkiness to the guacamole; they also intensify the green color of the dip.

Servings: 6


Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup thawed frozen peas
  • 2 small jalapeños
  • 2 tablespoons packed cilantro leaves, chopped, more for garnish
  • 3 medium ripe avocados, diced
  • 3 scallions, white and light green parts only, sliced thin
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons), plus more as needed
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • Tortilla chips, for serving
  • Lime wedges, for serving (optional)

Directions

  1. Broil peppers until charred.  Allow to cool then remove seed and membrane.
  2. In the bowl of a small food processor, purée the peas with the roasted jalapeño, raw jalapeño and cilantro. Process until almost smooth but still a little chunky.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the diced avocado, scallions, lime zest, lime juice, salt and the pea purée. Mash until well combined, but still a little chunky. Taste and adjust the salt and lime juice as needed. Serve with tortilla chips and lime wedges, if desired.
