Peas to Please

Slather pretty much anything on a warm, toasty piece of bread and I'm sold, but this sweet pea crostini is something special. It's perfect for a party or for afternoon snacking, paired with a glass of blood orange soda in my case. The addition of mint to the pea puree really makes the flavor pop, and you can top off each crostini with prosciutto or parmesan. It's light and fresh, but full of flavor. Given the color, you may just want to celebrate St. Patrick's Day with some.
