Carrot & Coriander Dip [vegan]

Two tins of butterbeans lurking in my cupboard were the inspiration for this Carrot & Coriander Dip.

After a long weekend away, there was not much food to go by. We were craving something quick and healthy. Rummaging through the fridge I found carrots and coriander which I thought would be perfect for it.

It has been a big hit, my husband having now claimed the whole jar for himself.

If the dip gets too thick when you are making it, just add more water so it is easier to blend.

This carrot & coriander dip makes a nice change from hummus and is great on breadstick, pitta bread or as a sandwich filler.
