This is a low-cost vegetarian dip that makes a nice alternative to guacamole or hummus. We love the fresh minty taste of the dip and that it is gluten-free.

Serves: 6 (with dippables)

Time to make: 15 mins

Stay Awake

2 Serve with pita chips, vegetable sticks and tomatoes.

Variations

Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free wraps instead of pita breads.

HFG tip

This dip is best eaten a few hours after it’s made it, as it will discolour overnight.
Re-taste dip just before serving as flavours can alter while chilling.
