Pistachio & white bean dip

serves 4

5mins


Homemade dips are a fridge essential and they’re not just for dipping – use them as spreads, dressings and sauces for salads or veg sides, sandwich fillings… Making a few at the weekend is super handy for snacking during the week too.

This one takes less than 5 mins and packs in the plants and prebiotics, with the pistachios and cannellini beans, and really delivers on flavour.
