Recipe: Healthier Guac!

When I first came across the recipe for guacamole with peas, I wasn't sure.  I am not the biggest fan of peas after making gallons of pea puree for the girls when they were babies.  Since I found the recipe a few months ago, I have tried many different variations of ingredients- a lot of recipes called for Greek yogurt or cucumbers, which I thought did not work.  Here is my special recipe.  You are lucky I like you!  Best thing is, you don't have to tell anyone peas are in it!

Ashleigh's Guac (I need a fun name, help!)

Ingredients: Play around with what you like, though!

• 2 Avocados
• 1.5 cups of cooked peas
• 1 tomato (2-3 Roma tomatoes), seeded
• 1/4 cup of red onion
• Small handful of cilantro (if you are like my friend Cori who hates this, omit or try parsley or chives)
• 1 lime or lemon
• 1 jalapeno, seeded (if you don't like spicy, you can omit or use green/red peppers)
• S & P to taste
• Dash of garlic powder
• Mrs Dash's Fiesta Lime seasoning- a dash to taste (this seasoning is amazing for Mexican cooking)

Instructions (not quite necessary, since it's so easy)

1. Throw everything in a blender or food processor except the seasonings.
2. Once blended, add spices and a dash of hot sauce if you like it spicy
3. Squeeze lemon or lime juice and stir.  Refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to chill.

 Yum!  I promise you will like this.  You can tell it is different, but there is no pea taste at all!

Serve with chips or add to a salad or wrap.  I love guac with steak salads!
