Tips

• This dip will turn a lovely green in the blender, if you have green-adverse guests or family members, reserve minced herbs and fold in post blending.
• Add more salt if using as a veggie dip, limit salt if using as a chip dip.
• Thin any leftovers with reserved liquid or your favourite unsweetened non-dairy milk and use as a salad dressing.
