Chickpeas don’t always have to be the base of your favourite dips or hummus! Butter beans, are an excellent source of dietary fibre, protein, B vitamins and loads of minerals. They can help reduce blood sugar, improve cholesterol levels and help maintain a healthy gut. Plus! They blend really well and create the creamiest texture for any dip base.

Place all of the ingredients into a food processor, except for the parsley. Blend until fully combined.

Mid way, if you would like the dip to be a little thinner, slowly add 1 tbsp of water at a time until desired consistency.
