If hummus and pesto had a baby, it would be this dip.
If you were my kids, you would call it The HULK dip (because Green Goddess is simply not cool enough).If you were me, you’d just call it delicious and wonder why you haven’t put it up on the blog yet (it’s been in my recipe files for nearly a decade). So here it is, friends- THE dip you’re going to be eating alllll summer long. SO go pick up a basil plant (you’re going to need a continuous supply), some chives, a can of white beans, a lemon and some tahini- and let’s get blending.
