Notes
Tips for BEST Results:
If you make the avocado spread ahead of time, place it in a container and press a strip of plastic wrap tightly to the top of the spread down into the bowl before placing the container lid on top.
Use a food processor to quickly and easily mash the peas. Just be sure to pulse to maintain some of the texture of the peas.
Make sure your avocado is ripe, but not too ripe! The trick with an avocado is to use it immediately when it’s ready or you can refrigerate the avocado once it’s achieved softness so it will last a bit longer.
Chop the herbs into a fine dice and use fresh herbs for maximum flavor.
Use a microplane to quickly and easily zest the lemon!
