Making this dip requires minimal effort, but has the most delicious outcome. This vibrant dip is nutty and lightly spiced, and is great to bring to parties or to serve at parties like New Years Eve, or to have as a healthy snack at home. It’s filled with crunchy walnuts which are high in antioxidants through its rich omega-3 fatty acid content, which helps support brain function.
The red bell peppers are rich with all kinds of vitamins, most notably vitamin C which is a powerful antioxidant and supports immune function. It’s also high in fibre which helps with a healthy digestion. The addition of cumin complements the sweetness of the peppers, and to add is also a herb that promotes digestion and contains anti-inflammatory antioxidants.
Delicious served with some toasted pita, or vegetable sticks.
