Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups frozen peas, blanched You can use fresh peas too!
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt Look for full-fat for creaminess
  • 1 avocado, pitted
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 2-3 cloves garlic Adjust to your taste
  • Juice of 1 lemon Freshly squeezed!
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Several grinds black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts For that delightful crunch
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta Optional, but adds a great salty kick
  • 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds For pops of sweetness
  • 2 tablespoons chopped herbs Like parsley or additional basil for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Bring a small pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the frozen peas and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until they turn bright green. Drain the peas, then rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  2. In your food processor, combine the blanched peas, avocado, Greek yogurt, basil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend for about 30 seconds until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
  3. Spoon the mixture into a serving bowl. Use the back of a spoon to gently smooth the surface.
  4. Top the dip with toasted pine nuts, crumbled feta, and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the top and crack some fresh black pepper on for extra flavor.
Serving
  1. Pair this dip with toasted crostini, veggie sticks, or enjoy it by the spoonful!

Notes

Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3-4 days. This dip can be made ahead of time to allow flavors to meld together beautifully.
