This dip is kind of like guacamole minus the avocado and can be prepared in just 15 minutes. Filled with onions, tomatoes, and baby peas, this tasty appetizer also gets a citrusy flavor from fresh lime juice and a taste of heat from hot pepper sauce. Serve with baked tortilla chips or fresh vegetable sticks, or use as a sandwich spread. You can make this pea dip a day ahead and store in the refrigerator in an airtight container. If you are entertaining, make a trio of dips with the pea dip, hummus and a beet dip for a colorful presentation.
