Green Pea Spread

Baguette Slices and Pea Spread with Lemon, Garlic, and Mint

Sweet petite peas make a scrumptious green pea spread with lemon, garlic, and mint. Its fresh flavor is addictive! An added bonus is that it is so easy to make.

This spread has a hint of sweetness from the baby peas and it pairs perfectly with the mint, garlic, and lemon flavors. It’s delicious topped with a little fresh ricotta. Try making pea toasts for a change from avocado toasts.
