This bright and creamy dip brings together fresh fava beans, Greek yogurt, and herbs for a seasonal dip that’s full of protein and flavor. Whether you're entertaining or just snacking solo, it’s a fresh take on a classic Mediterranean combo—cool, tangy, and endlessly dippable. We love it served with crisp veggies, crackers, or warm pita for a light bite that still satisfies. The best part? It’s made with our Nonfat Greek Yogurt, giving you a nutritious boost with every scoop.
Ingredients
2 cups fresh shelled fava beans
1 cup Nounós Nonfat Greek Yogurt
½ cup fresh dill
Handful of fresh basil leaves
2 cloves garlic
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional:
1 tsp hot honey
Extra virgin olive oil, for topping
Steps
Prepare an ice bath and set aside.
Add the fava beans to a medium pot and cover with an inch of water. Bring to a boil and cook until very tender, about 4 to 8 minutes depending on size. Drain the fava beans in a mesh sieve then transfer to the ice bath to cool. Drain, then squeeze beans from skin.
Add the cooked fava beans and the remaining ingredients to a food processor and blend until combined. Taste and adjust flavors to your personal preference. Serve with fresh veggies and crackers. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Enjoy!
