Easy Peasy Mint & Garlic Dip: Chef Gale Gand's Delicious Pea, Mint & Garlic Dip Recipe Is So Good for You Appetizers Snacks Vegan
This pea, mint and garlic dip is a perfect warmer-weather dipping dish. This healthy dip is such a lively green color. It looks and tastes great with beef tenderloin or shrimp – or just on its own with pita chips or dipping vegetables. I shared this healthy vegetarian recipe on my #30Seconds Live cooking demo. It's so easy and delicious – and so good for you!
