Instructions

- Put the dip into a serving bowl and garnish with fresh basil, parsley and za’atar. Serve with Heinen’s crostini, pita chips and vegetables.
Notes: If your dip is too chunky add more lemon juice or extra virgin olive oil as need to thin it out. You want to be careful not to add too much liquid as it can water down the dip and make it too thin.
