This pea, mint and garlic dip is a perfect warmer-weather dipping dish. This healthy dip is such a lively green color. It looks and tastes great with beef tenderloin or shrimp – or just on its own with pita chips or dipping vegetables. I shared this healthy vegetarian recipe on my #30Seconds Live cooking demo. It's so easy and delicious – and so good for you!

Cuisine: American/Mediterranean
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 0 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4 to 6

Ingredients

1 bag (1 pound) frozen peas, thawed
10 mint leaves
2 medium cloves garlic, peeled
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
6 tablespoons good-quality extra virgin olive oil

Here’s how to make it:

Place all the ingredients in a food processor and puree until well blended and relatively smooth.
Serve cold with pita chips to dip or spread on crostini and top with a thin slice of beef tenderloin or smoked salmon for a great hors d’oeuvre. Keeps in the fridge covered for at least four days.
