Minty Pea Hummus: A Fresh & Vibrant Twist on a Classic

If you’re after a dip that’s light, refreshing, and a little different from the usual hummus, then this Minty Pea Hummus is a must-try. It’s full of flavour, gorgeously green, and incredibly versatile, perfect for crackers, veggie sticks, or as a tasty sandwich filler.

A Hummus with a Twist

This vibrant version of hummus combines the sweetness of peas, the earthy goodness of spinach, and a bright kick from fresh mint. It’s a fantastic way to add colour and nutrients to your plate, and even the kids love it!

What gives this hummus its smooth and silky texture isn’t oil, but aquafaba, the liquid from a tin of chickpeas. It’s a brilliant, low-fat alternative to oil and makes your dip extra creamy without compromising on flavour.

Looking for Another Spread o Try?

If you like bold flavours, don’t miss my vegan pâté. It’s rich, savoury, and gets its deep umami taste from a splash of liquid smoke , yes, the one you can pick up from most supermarkets! Another great addition to any mezze board. Here are some other recipes you might want to try:

Minty Pea Hummus: Quick, Healthy & Kid-Approved

Made with frozen peas, this recipe is quick to throw together and packed with plant-based goodness. Frozen peas and spinach not only keep things simple but also create that beautiful, deep green colour that makes it stand out on the table.

It’s also great for little hands and picky eaters. Spread it in wraps, spoon it into lunchboxes, or let them dip their favourite raw veg, it’s a fun way to sneak in some extra greens.

Since we have been in lockdown, it has been a juggle to cook for everyone lunch and dinner every day. To simplify things, I am often making mezze platters with a dip such as this Minty Pea Hummus recipe, accompanied with raw vegetables, nuts, fruits, grilled halloumi, crackers or flatbread.

I hope you enjoy this minty pea hummus recipe as much as I do. If you do make it, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram!
