Green pea ricotta dip with mint is a simple and healthy dip, packed with refreshing flavors. Ready within minutes, it’s the perfect appetizer for summer parties!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (300g) green peas, fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup (250g) ricotta cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 handful fresh meant leaves
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ lemon, juice
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • Serving options: toasted pine nuts, sesame seeds, raw veggies, crackers, etc.

Instructions

  1. Place a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the fresh or frozen green peas, and cook for 5 minutes from when it starts boiling again. Drain them and plunge them into a large bowl of water with ice cubes to stop the cooking (it will keep them green), then drain them.
  2. Add green peas, ricotta cheese, garlic and mint leaves to a food processor. Mix until smooth and creamy. Slowly pour the olive oil and lemon juice, and mix again. Season with salt and pepper, taste, and adjust seasoning as needed.
  3. Serve cold, with toasted pine nuts, crackers and/or raw vegetables of choice (cucumber, celery and carrot sticks, radish slices, etc.).

Notes

Note: The seasoning is very important for a perfect dip, so make sure you taste and adjust as needed.
