Chef's Notes
Suggested adult serving: 2 slices
To store, place avocado mixture in a storage container. Cover the surface with plastic wrap and close the lid. Chill in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Step 1: Make Avocado-Pea Spread
- 2 1/4 cups fresh or frozen green peas
- 3⁄4 avocado
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1⁄3 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 6 slices whole-grain bread toasted
- 3⁄4 cucumber thinly sliced (≈7 1⁄2 oz)
- 4 1⁄2 radishes sliced (≈1⁄3 cup)
- 3 scallions (white & green parts) thinly sliced (≈1⁄3 cup)
STEAM GREEN PEAS
In a steamer insert set over boiling water, cook peas for 1 to 2 minutes. Immediately run cold water over peas; drain well.
PREPARE AVOCADO
In a food processor (or high-powered blender), process steamed peas, avocado, and pepper flakes until smooth. Add lemon juice and season with black pepper to taste.
ASSEMBLE & SERVE
Toast bread, then slather with pea-avocado mixture. Top with cucumber, radishes, and scallions.
