Green Pea Hummus
This Green Pea Hummus is a fresh, flavorful dip made with sweet peas, herbs, lemon, and feta. It’s high in fiber, easy to prep, and perfect for spring and summer.
Servings: 5
Ingredients
- 1 cup green sweet summer peas, (if using frozen, defrost them first)
- 1 clove garlic
- ¼ cup feta cheese
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
- 2 tablespoon fresh tarragon, chopped
- 2 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tablespoon smooth dijon mustard
- juice of 1 lemon
- zest of 1 lemon
Instructions
- To a high powered blender add peas, garlic, feta olive oil, salt, black pepper, mint, tarragon, chives, dijon, lemon juice and lemon zest. * see notes below for top blending tips*
- Blend until smooth.
- Serve with crackers, veggies or crostini and enjoy!
Notes
I recommend adding the liquid ingredients (olive oil and lemon juice) closest to the blades to help blend everything together. (This means if you have a top l loading blender ie vitamix- add the liquid FIRST and if you have a bottom loading blender (ie magic bullet add the liquid LAST).
If you are still having issues with blending- i recommend giving it a stir or adding 1-2 teaspoon of water!
