This recipe falls into the category of things to not knock until you try. It’s perfectly refreshing and Spring-y, and just because you didn’t like peas as a kid, that doesn’t mean you won’t like this recipe. After all, who doesn’t like a good dip?
This one is simple and easy, and leftovers can be frozen for later use. Pair it with vegetables or your favorite whole grain cracker.
