NOTES : Nutrition Bonus: Replacing avocados with peas not only eliminates the

fat in this dip, it provides a yellow-green carotenoid that is good for your

eyes. Lutein, a cousin of beta carotene and lycopene, is believed to help fight

macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in people over 65.
