Ingredients

1 1/2 cups frozen green peas, thawed
3 cloves garlic
1/2 medium-size red onion (or about 1/2 cup chopped)
1/2 cup densely packed fresh cilantro
1 very ripe, medium-size California avocado
1/2 cup spicy hot prepared salsa
Juice of 1 lime
Salt


Directions

Set peas in a colander to drain. Peel the garlic. Peel onion and cut into 4 pieces. Rinse cilantro and shake the leaves to remove excess water. Remove and discard tough lower stems. Process all ingredients in a food processor (or blender) until very smooth. Season with salt if desired.
