My husband Howard and son Ted hate peas. Please don’t worry I didn’t try and hide it from them in this pesto dip. I made this dip for myself. I love peas. Also I have recently discovered edamame beans too. So I thought I would try them in a pesto dip. To be honest, I didn’t know if the peas would work in this dish but honest you can’t really taste them. I thought it was delicious so of course, I had to share the recipe with you. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Pea and Edamame Bean Pesto Dip was a great dip. I ate this with cut cucumber and carrots. Plus I also ate it with pasta and chicken too. All of the ingredients are freezable so you could make a big batch and freeze it for another occasion. It made a yummy snack but it also made a nice lunch as well. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
