Fresh Pea Hummus Crostini
Oh, how I love the colors and flavors of spring. Now that fresh peas are in season, I want to take advantage and use them in a creative way.
Granted, I love adding it into my Arroz con Pollo but this Fresh Pea Hummus Crostini takes it to a whole new level.
Imagine toasted layers of baguette served with a delicious and tangy spread and topped off with fresh radishes and microgreens. Sounds
Sounds delish, doesn’t it? They are perfect for a party or casual dinner.
You can also serve this Fresh Pea Hummus Crostini as a snack or to take on a picnic. The hummus is sweet, flavorful and delicious.
It is easy to taste de deep flavors of the fresh pea alongside the crunchy spicy radish.
Naturally, this appetizer is completely vegan and can be made gluten-free simply by using GF crackers or bread such as the one I used for my open faced ham & cheese sandwich.
I recommend making a double batch of the fresh pea hummus. It’s so delicious that you’ll want to spread onto everything. I am addicted to it and regret not making some more. Since it will be Passover in a couple of weeks, spread it on top of a matzo, it would taste amazing.

This week has been long and hard with work and the next 2 are looking worse. With Passover happening soon, I need to start planning my menu, shopping, and cooking. I am expecting a lot of people this year. Yikes!

Thanks Rach! Depending on where you live.. If you have a Pain Quotidien nearby, theirs is excellent. Also, there are some nice brands that sell them frozen at the Supermarket as well.
I love the quality of your pictures, they are beautiful…food photography can be hard to get right but these are so sharp, and the effect so appetizing. Please share how you achieved it! You’ve soft focused parts and highlighted others. The ‘early morning’ light complements the simple, fresh ingredients perfectly! Thank you
Hi Lindsay! thanks for your kind comment. It means a lot since I am still learning.
I usually place the food and background on the floor against a large window.
