I really am please with this recipe. Just like the opening lines here, I wanted guacamole and I had no avocado but I had peas and I gave them a chance. So glad I did. I already love peas and wanted to use them in a taco recipe but couldn’t see how until I looked this up. Will repeat and repeat!!
Made this today and it is delicious. Such a healthy alternative to hummus.
First off, it’s not guacamole. Secondly, it’s delicious. Just delicious. We both loved it. I made it exactly as written. Maybe next time purée peas in my vitamix. But it is yummy.
My 6 and 12 year old girls loved it with some scoops, I was SHOCKED and so happy to have found a healthy snack for them <3
Delicious, a great alternative to using avocados and giving yourself greenie points. I found it a little too wet, my fault as I added too many peas, so suggest under pea-ing if you make this. Add plenty of salt. I may about add some soaked cashews to the blending stage for richness in future, but even as is it’s a fresh and delicious dip, burrito and sandwich topper.
Really easy to make and surprisingly tasty! It’s also easy to adjust more or less ingredients to your liking. We will make this again!!!!
Just made this and wowza, it’s delicious! My 20 y/o just asked to “take this off my hands” with some baked tortilla chips — he has no idea it’s made from green peas, lol. This is a keeper for sure!
Used a little extra lime juice ( juice of two limes came to about 1/3 cup), and parsley instead of cilantro, since I didn’t have any cilantro. Also used Uncle Dougie’s black sriracha sauce, about 2 tsp. Not exactly the recipe, but that is the joy of cooking: you make it how you like and use the ingredients you have if you want to make something, but don’t have exactly what is called for. It tasted delicious! It is so nice to have a good guacamole dip without all the fat. I highly recommend it!
