Ingredients

• 2 cups frozen green peas
• 1 large garlic clove
• 10 leaves fresh mint leaves
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the frozen green peas and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender but still bright green. Drain and immediately transfer the peas to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well and set aside.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the cooked peas, garlic clove, fresh mint leaves, parsley leaves, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Pulse the mixture until smooth but still slightly chunky, depending on your desired consistency. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed.

Step 4

If using Greek yogurt for creaminess, add it to the food processor and pulse a few more times to incorporate.

Step 5

Taste the dip and adjust seasonings, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.

Step 6

Transfer the green pea dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of chopped parsley or mint, and a pinch of black pepper for presentation.

Step 7

Serve immediately with crackers, fresh vegetables, or use as a spread for sandwiches or wraps. Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
