PREP TIME: 10 minutes. BLEND TIME: 5 minutes
I created this dip for one of my ‘nukery’ (nutrition+cooking) classes to pair with my Herby Almond crackers. It’s a delicious, savoury creamy dip that has an intense flavour, making it nearly impossible to resist! I love it as a perfect last minute throw-together when friends drop over unexpectedly OR for a stress-free dinner party appetiser; I made a double batch for a recent dinner party and before my girlfriends and I could get to it, the men had polished it off!
NUTRITIONAL BITES
Olives are rich in phytonutrients that provide antioxidant and anti-inflamatory nutrients which help protect our bodies.
Olives are also a good source of phytoestrogens which play a part in balancing our hormonal system, helping with menopausal symptoms.
