Hope everyone had a great Turkey Day and is looking forward to the holiday season getting in full gear. Wanted to pass along an easy and light recipe for a great appetizer. It's a nice way to start out a meal, or even a good snack to have before a big soiree in hopes of not overindulging at the event. Enjoy.Pea and Avocado Hummus
1 avocado
2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice
1 small clove of garlic, minced
2 4.9 ounce cans of sweet green peas, drained
1 tablespoon of kosher salt
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and scoop out the flesh. In a food processor, combine the avocado flesh, lime juice, garlic, peas and salt, and process until smooth. Serve with toasted whole wheat pita bread and vegetable crudites.

It sounds like a very nice dish, but calling it "hummus" is a bit funny. "Hummus" is the Arab/Hebrew word for chickpeas.
Another thing: what's with the Kosher salt? What can be not-kosher in salt?
Thanks. I prefer to use kosher or sea salt because it is a bit rougher in texture than regular table salt and it doesn't have any added ingredients such as iodine.
