Sweet and Salty Pea Guacamole (Vegan)

Sweet and Salty Pea Guacamole (Vegan)   

Yesterday, I was craving guacamole, but I couldn't find avocados. So, I adapted a recipe that I found. This recipe's main ingredient is peas. Peas are fresh, green legumes rich in B-vitamins and iron, so this recipe is low fat, healthy, and delicious.

Ingredients:

·        2  1/2 cups of frozen green peas, thawed in microwave

·        1 clove garlic

·        1/3 cup lime juice

·        1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

·        1 small tomato (optional)

·        1/2 cup of onion, chopped

·        1/2 cup fresh cilantro

·        1/8 teaspoon hot sauce

·        1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Directions:

1.   Put the peas, garlic, lime juice, cumin, hot sauce, and salt into a food processor and process until it makes a smooth green mix. 

2.  In a medium-sized bowl, combine the pea mixture, onion, cilantro, and tomato. 

3.  Cover and refrigerate.

4.  Serve with chips, fresh vegetables, or on bread.
