This is a recipe my stepfather has been making for years. He learned it while living in Mexico. It is delicious and is best when you let it sit overnight.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen peas, defrosted

  • ½ cup fresh lime juice

  • 2 cups plain yogurt

  • ½ cup olive oil

  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder

  • 2 cups ice water

  • 2 tablespoons chopped tomatoes, or to taste

  • 1 tablespoon chopped jalapeno pepper, or to taste

Directions
