    Ingredients

    All you need are a handful of simple ingredients to make this healthy dip in just minutes. Here’s what you need to pick up at the grocery store:

    Green peas: You can use fresh peas when they’re available but this green pea dip can also be made with frozen peas. Simply thaw them in cool water. 

    Greek yogurt: Use plain, unsweetened Greek-style yogurt for a thicker consistency.

    Cheese: The combination of feta and parmesan cheese adds perfect flavor to this healthy veggie dip. 

    Olive oil: The bright herb citrus flavor of extra virgin olive oil works perfectly in this recipe.

    Lemon juice: Use freshly squeezed for the best flavor.

    How to Make A Homemade Veggie Dip with Peas

    1. Place the peas, fresh spinach, feta, parmesan, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and a small amount of salt and pepper. Pulse until smooth with little chunks.
    2. Serve up this cold dip with your favorite dippers.

    How to Serve Healthy Veggie Dip with Peas

    This dip is perfect for your next family gathering or small get-together! But you can also use it as your meal prep for healthy snacks during the week or to use in meals.

    • Crudité Platter: I serve this dip on a crudité platter of various veggies like cucumbers, carrots, and radishes, creating a colorful and inviting spread. 
    • Make it into a Crostini: Spread the pea puree on top of toasted multi-grain bread with some white sharp cheddar. So scrumptious! 
    • Add it to your favorite small charcuterie board for gatherings and parties.
    • Use it as a sandwich or wrap filing for quick and easy lunches!
    • Serve it up with other dips such as Loaded Mediterranean Hummus Dip or Beetroot Hummus Without Tahini.
    • Green pea dip goes great with a variety of breads and crackers. Try this homemade healthy cracker recipe or some toasted Kamut Tortillas.

    Expert Tips and FAQs

    • Store green pea dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. 
    • Use fresh or frozen peas!! They are both nutritious options.

    Pulse the food processor rather than puree. You want to leave it slightly chunky.

        Hi! You can find all the ingredients, measurements, and instructions at the bottom of the post in the recipe box. At the top of the page there is a jump to recipe button too. From there you can just read the recipe or print as well. Let me know if you have any other questions!

      There is something wrong with the "jump to recipe". The actual ingredients are not there!

        Hi Joan! When you click the "jump to recipe" button it will take you down to an ad, so sorry my ad network does this. If you scroll down just a touch, the recipe box will be there. It will have the list of ingredients, measurements, and how to make. It is also printable. Hope that helps!

          Hi, just sharing that what the other two comments said about the posted recipe still looks to be true. The "recipe box" below the ad where it has the title "ingredients" does not actually list any ingredients or amounts, it lists your recipe instructions. They are there twice, once in the ingredients section and again in the instructions section. Recipe sounds healthy and delicious, would love to try it, hopefully you'll be able to get it reposted and corrected. Thanks!

            Oh man, I didn't even realize that! It is corrected with the ingredients and measurements. I am not sure how that happened. Thank you for pointing it out!
