Pea Dip

Submitted by Syrinx

"This is a fresh, zingy dip which is bursting with flavour and a wonderful sense of vitality. I like it with warm pitta bread or melba toast, but it would be good with just about anything. I have even used it to dress pasta, which was rather yummy. All quantities given are approximate - feel free to vary them according to taste."

i like peas a lot and my husbands loves them even more but i did not care for this and he liked it. the pea taste was too much and i tried to add other things to make it better but nothing worked. but my husband liked it fine so i think you really have to like peas to really enjoy this... very healthy though thanks.
