  • Add fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives or mint at Step 2 for a herbed alternative.
  • For a healthy catering platter, serve dip with oven-baked wholemeal pita bread and mixed vegetable sticks, such as celery, carrot, cucumber and capsicum.
  • Depending on the size of your food processor, step 2 may need to be carried out in a couple of batches.
