Plunge crackers and vegetable sticks into this tasty dip

Easy to make, this dip is tasty, zesty with lemon, creamy but lactose free. Serve on platters with crackers and vegetable sticks at barbecues and parties. Or use as a spread on pita bread and sandwiches to give a Middle Eastern flavour.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients
400g can white beans, drained
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 medium sized lemon, juiced and rind finely grated
2 tbsp olive oil
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely cut (optional)

Method

Add the white beans, garlic and salt into a blender and blend until smooth.

The white beans are healthy and delicious
