Bring a medium stovetop pot halfway filled with water to a boil.

3

Add avocado, mint, chives, lemon juice, and ice, and blend until smooth. Add salt, if using, and blend once more to incorporate.

Chef’s Notes

Substitutions
In place of peas try chickpeas; edamame; green, brown, or black lentils; mung beans; or white beans.

In place of mint try basil.

For an onion-free dip, omit the chives.

Storage
Store leftover Pea and Avocado Dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
