By OcadoLife
Published on 02 December 2021
Pea and mint really sing in this super easy, fresh-tasting dip. All you need to make it are 10 minutes and a handful of freezer and store cupboard staples. It's great to serve at a get-together with friends, and easy to whip up for a quick lunch or snack. We've served it with king prawns dunking, but it would be equally good on toast to make bruschetta.Time and servings
