This dip is kind of like guacamole minus the avocado and can be prepared in just 15 minutes. Filled with onions, tomatoes, and baby peas, this tasty appetizer also gets a citrusy flavor from fresh lime juice and a taste of heat from hot pepper sauce. Serve with baked tortilla chips or fresh vegetable sticks, or use as a sandwich spread. You can make this pea dip a day ahead and store in the refrigerator in an airtight container. If you are entertaining, make a trio of dips with the pea dip, hummus and a beet dip for a colorful presentation.

Ingredients

Frozen baby peas

10 oz

Olive oil

1 Tbsp

Fresh lime juice

1 Tbsp

Ground cumin

¾ tsp

Table salt

½ tsp

Plum tomato

1 medium, seeded, diced

Red onion

2 Tbsp, chopped

Cilantro

3 Tbsp, fresh, chopped

Hot pepper sauce

¼ tsp, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring a small saucepan half full of water to a boil. Add peas; cook until tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Drain peas and rinse under cold running water; drain again.
  2. Put peas, oil, lime juice, cumin and salt in a food processor; process until smooth and scrape into a bowl. Stir in tomato, onion, cilantro and hot pepper sauce; cover and refrigerate at least 15 minutes for flavors to blend. Let come to room temperature before serving. Yields about 3 tablespoons per serving.

Notes

Another option is to replace the oil with 2 tablespoons of reduced-fat sour cream.
