Frozen green peas replace most of the high-fat avocado in this colourful dip, which is so delicious that it's hard to believe how low in fat it is. Serve with pita crisps, bread sticks or simple veggie sticks.

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups frozen green peas
  • 1/3 cup light sour cream
  • 2 tbsp mashed avocados
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 dash hot pepper sauce
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped seeded peeled tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped onions

Preparation

In small covered saucepan over medium-high heat, cook peas with 2 tbsp (25 mL) water until bright green, about 2 minutes. (Alternatively, in covered microwaveable bowl, microwave at High for 2 minutes.) Drain; transfer to food processor or blender. Add sour cream, avocado, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, hot pepper sauce and pepper; puree until smooth. Stir in tomato and onion. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours before serving.
