As a dairy-free alternative to creamy dips, the recipe here calls for pureeing sweet peas with scallions, ginger and jalapeño, then seasoning the mix with yellow miso. Serve the spread with different kinds of crackers and breads or sugar snap peas and celery for dipping. More Party Dips and Spreads

I served this spread as the preappetizer in a 6 course Asian meal for Valentine's Day. I did doctor it up a bit. I used red miso because I like the bold, almost cheesy flavor it imparts. I subbed wasabi for the jalapeno. I wanted to do a riff on Wasabi peas and this was the perfect dish to experiment with. Next time, I would kick the ginger up a notch, but that's my only complaint. So good, so fast, so easy and one of my new favorite dips. It would pair very well with Salmon - and the color contrast would be lovely.
