Snap Pea Salsa

I pretty much love all dips. Whether they’re more of a scoop-able dip, or a saucy cheesy dip, I want it. It’s the perfect appetizer for literally any event. So, I’m always up for another dip to add to my rotation. Sometimes I want something comforting, warm, and truly a guilty pleasure, and other times I want something light and crisp. This dip was born out of clearing out my fridge. I was going over to a friends house for dinner and I told her I’d bring an appetizer and this is what I came up with. Everyone loved it so I thought I’d actually make it into a recipe. The snap peas give it a sweet crunch, the parmesan gives it a bit of nuttiness, and the lemon gives it the brightness you want for summer. Honestly, it’s very unexpected and very good! I recommend serving it with pita chips but any chip will do. Don’t get me started on my love for chips ;)
