I don’t know about you, but in our house, there’s never enough guacamole to go around. Avocados come with a price tag and I always feel super extravagant if I’m throwing more than two into the mix. Enter the humble pea. Packed with protein, frozen is just as good as fresh, peas are a delicious way to lengthen guacamole. They boost texture and bring sweetness. Plus ensure that there’s left overs for lunch.
This formula is from Elizabeth Peyton-Jones, Cook Yourself Young, and has had just the smallest of tweaks.
