Herby Spring Pea Dip

Spring has sprung!!! I felt inspired to make a new pea dip recipe since we spent the weekend gardening and planting some new herbs. I was also really inspired by the endive salad at Estela, and wanted to make something that we could dip endive spears into and this truly turned out perfectly. So, here’s my new beautiful, bright green, flavorful dip for any spring holiday or happy hour.

Ingredients

• 1 package of english peas, fresh or frozen

• 3 cloves of garlic, minced

• 1 lemon, juiced

• handful of baby spinach

• 1/2 cup of basil, 3/4 cup if you love basil (me!)

• 1/2 tsp of salt

• 1/2 cup of olive oil

• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast

Blanch the peas in salted boiling water for about 2 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when they float to the top and are bright green. Let them cool for a few minutes, and while the peas cool add the garlic to the food processor and pulse until it’s minced. Add the peas, lemon, spinach, and basil, and give it all a good pulse to start to combine. Slowly stream in the olive oil and continue to blend together. Once it reaches a creamy consistency with a little bit of texture, add the salt and nutritional yeast and mix again to combine. Serve with endive spears and your favorite vegetables. Enjoy!

with love ♥️,
