Lately, I’ve been getting asked for extra healthy dressings. What one terms as extra healthy is going to be different than the next person, but to me, this one meets that criteria. This pea avocado herb dressing is great for various bowls as shown, but it’s also thicker so it could easily act as a healthy dip. I’m thinking as a dip for raw veggies or if we’re being fancy, crudité, but also potatoes. Smashed potatoes with minced garlic and pink salt or sea salt dipped in this herby green dressing sounds good to me right now. If you make this, let me know how you are using it. Your ideas inspire me too!

Pea Avocado Herb Dressing or Dip recipe — I consider this an extra healthy bowl for the extra healthy dressing. Haha. I was hungry and wanted something fast. This fit the bill that day. I already had a batch of quinoa in the fridge and the dressing was made. All I had to do was chop up some broccoli, grape tomatoes, and fresh dill. That fresh dill added a lot. Fresh herbs make such a difference in this otherwise, dare I say boring, dishes like this.

This pea avocado herb dressing is great for various salads, but it's also thicker, so it makes a great healthy dip as well. Think raw veggies, crudité, smashed potatoes, wherever you want a thicker herby green dressing. Add a bit more water if you want it thinner, or add less for an extra thick dip.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

1 cup frozen peas
1 avocado pitted
1 garlic clove
1 scallion white and green part
2 TBSP fresh parsley
2 TBSP fresh dill – any fresh herbs you have on hand is great just use a small handful total
1 lime or 1 small lemon add more to taste
1/2 cup water use less for an extra thick dip
pinch of sea salt and ground pepper

Method

Boil peas until soft. Drain and run under cold water until they feel cold to the touch. I actually heat up water in my tea kettle, pour over a bowl of peas until submerged, and put a plate on top for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse until cold. Any method works.
Add the peas to a blender along with everything else. Pulse or blend until smooth. Taste and adjust if desired. Enjoy!
