Mint and Green Pea Hummus

a play on a fresh hummus recipe

Although not made from chickpeas – as most hummus is – this green pea hummus brings a lot to the party. Not only does it dress up any plate, but the fresh mint flavor is an added surprise.

For easy entertaining, I like to serve this with Fresh Tomato and Basil Bruschetta as well as the Smoked Turkey Appetizer.
