This dip is delicious and speedy to make. I love it served alongside a large chopped salad or with drinks and friends served with corn chips – but beware it does have a garlic kick to it! Butterbeans are a brilliant source of plant-based protein and a low GI carb, and I add some extra sunflower seeds for the healthy oil content. Whiz this up in ten minutes and then sprinkle with fresh parsley to serve. Saves well, chilled in the fridge, for up to 5 days.
