Basil Pesto & Butter Bean Dip

Who doesn’t love pesto?! There is something so delicious about the flavour of basil.

Another thing I love about pesto is that it's a great way to get raw garlic into your diet. Raw garlic is amazing for our immunity and something that we can all benefit from at this time of year!⁠

Adding spinach alongside the basil is a great way to bulk it up and add even more nutritional benefits! This is an all rounder dip that can even be used as a pesto pasta sauce.
