Entertaining a crowd just got a whole lot sweeter with this wonderful dairy-free party dip. Sweet english peas, the embodiment of spring, are blended into a smooth and creamy dish thanks to silken tofu. A tiny bite of comes from the scallions while the cooling mint comes across gently in each bite all brightened by lemon juice and zest.
