Minted Pea and Broad Bean Dip
| Published: 17th June 2008 20:24 |
This has to be one of the easiest dips ever. Packed full of flavour, it sings of summer. It would also work as a great accompaniment to spring lamb. I used 0% fat Greek yogurt making it really low in calories, perfect for attaining or maintaining that summer body.
