Love this! I was really, REALLY, skeptical of peas turning out okay for guac but it works. Couple of adjustments I did to better suit my tastes was to use 2/3 of the peas and about 1/2 the yogurt because I like the tangy guac more than the creamy and the yogurt made it a little creamier than I really liked. But even made by the book the recipe is a great swap. I can have guac on sandwiches now too!

This is AWESOME! I accidentally bought a can of peas (yeah, I don't know), and I forgot how turned off I am by canned peas. Well, I got this recipe in my e-mail today, and I saw that I could use up the peas (along with a bunch of other stuff I had in the fridge)! I mashed up the peas completely, I used a whole Haas avocado, and I added a bit more minced garlic. I didn't have the optional ingredients, but it was still great. If I had not made it myself, I wouldn't even know there were peas in it. I would TOTALLY bring this to a get-together. Thanks for posting it!

It is so yummy and no one knows there are peas in it. I am always asked to bring this to gatherings. The only thing that is hard to find here is the Greek yogurt...but found a great substitute locally. Highly recommend.

I hate peas so I was a little turned off by this at first. But I decided to make it to go along with another one of hungry girls recipes and i really liked it! I still love the regular fattening one, but this is good also. I also used the cottage cheese, thanks for the advice. thank you for sharing another great recipe xpnsve!
