Feta and Pinenut dip

Feta and pinenuts are a flavour combination most people love and when you add the creaminess of Greek yoghurt it becomes even more irrisistable. We do love a good dip here at the One Handed Cooks headquarters. Why? Well…

1. Dips hide goodness and vegetables so fussy eaters are none the wiser.
2. Little kids love to ‘dip’ so you can introduce a range of new flavours and textures in a non-confronting way.
3. Homemade dips are cheap and simple to make, not to mention delicious and contain no nasty additives or preservatives.
4. The fun element of ‘dipping’ encourages kids to eat raw vegetable sticks as their ‘dippers’ without even realising it.
5. Dips make a wonderful sandwich base. Use them instead of butter, for a flavour and nutritional boost.
6. Dips transport well, so they are perfect for the travelling lunchbox.

Nutrition Note: Feta cheese is high in salt which can be harmful to the health of young babies when consumed in excess so this dip is best enjoyed by older toddlers, children and adults.
