Bean and Pea Dip GF SCD

I adore peas. Bursting with nutrition they are an excellent source of protein as well as being rich in dietary fibre, iron and Vitamin C. They are also a good source of Folic Acid and Vitamin B6 as well as lutein, an antioxidant carotenoid essential for eye health.
This bean and pea dip is simple to prepare and tastes delicious but once made, taste it and add in a little extra lemon juice or salt to your taste.
