Sweet Pea & Lime Guacamole
I discovered this amazing twist to traditional guacamole while I was cooking for a Collegiate Cycling Team. I had a pretty tight budget to feed 20 hungry cyclists for a week. I had to literally hide the avocados and ration the guacamole. I decided to sneak some peas into the guac to to make the avocados go further. The result was a surprisingly creamy and sweet concoction and Sweet Pea and Lime Guacamole was born. They all raved about how good it was and I didn’t even tell them it had peas in it. It is quick to make, taste fresh and lighter in calories so you can eat a lot of it. It is a great dip with veggies or baked corn tortillas or an addition to anything Mexican.
