Aztec Guacamole with Peas

Ingredients:

1 10-ounce package of organic frozen peas
1 medium avocado, pit removed, scooped out and chopped
1 lime, juiced
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1/2 ripe tomato, seeded and diced
1/2 small yellow onion, finely diced
1/2 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely diced

Preparation:

In a food processor bowl fitted with a sharp blade, combine the peas and avocado. Process until creamy. Add the lime juice and salt and pulse to blend.

Add the cilantro, tomato, onion and jalapeno and pulse about three times. Do not over-process the guacamole. It’s best to retain the texture of the tomatoes and onions as much as possible. Makes 2 cups of low-far, creamy guacamole. Serves approximately 8, 2.8-ounce servings.

Variations: Instead of peas, feel free to use 10-ounces of broccoli flowers (boiled 7 minutes and drained under running cold water) or 10-ounces of edamame “beansâ€
