Dips are just one of the things that the Thermomix does so easily! I whipped this one up for our lunch today and it was too good not to share with you.
The four of us ate the entire batch! My six year old has declared it the best thing she’s ever eaten!
We dipped vege sticks and crackers into it. I also had some roasted red capsicum that needed using, so I diced it into small pieces. It complimented the dip really well.
After some more healthy snack ideas?
Snacks such as dips like this one are a breeze in the Thermomix. Having healthy snacks on hand stops me reaching for ready made snacks.
I have a whole book dedicated to snacks and light meals, in Lunches and Snacks Made Easy. It’s incredibly popular amongst Bexta’s. My kids have firm lunch box favourites in it that we keep in constant rotation in the freezer.
In case you don’t have Lunches and Snacks Made Easy, here are a few of our favourite snack recipes from right here on the website:
Roasted Beetroot and Cashew Dip
Roasted Capsicum and Macadamia Dip
Green Olive and Butter Bean Dip
Ingredients
- 1 400g can butter beans drained, rinsed (or 250g cooked butter beans)
- 120 g pitted green olives
- 1 garlic clove (5g)
- 60 g cashews raw
- 30 g olive oil
- 20 g lemon juice
- more olive oil and paprika to serve
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in mixer bowl. Process 10 seconds/speed 6/MC on. Dip will still have some texture after this time. If you are wanting a smooth dip, process for longer, stopping to scrape down the bowl as needed.
- Serve topped with a slosh of olive oil and a sprinkling of paprika.

Yummmmmyyyyyy loved it ?
Just made it, same as Kathleen, used cannellini beans. Also only pipped green olives I could get had pimiento stuffing. AND no cashews so it can go to school. Super duper yummy. Thanks for another brilliant recipe.
This dip was very tasty and using ingredients that are usually in the pantry. A great alternative yo hommus.
Oh and BTW, I used cannellini beans instead of butter beans.
You know when “I’ll just taste test it” becomes “ok now I’m just eating it with a spoon”? That’s what happened to me just now. And I’m sure the party I’m bringing it to is going to become “why is that girl sitting in the corner with a bowl of dip and a spoon?”. I think this just became my fave dip Bec. Thx!
I made this tonight, had to make it up with some black olives, lovely taste and texture, enough to entice my husband, who hates olives, to try some. Will make it again.
Made this tonight for a family get together and it tastes so good! Thanks for another great recipe, Bec.
Yum! Pow of flavour, healthy and filling! Just what I need with two under 2 to keep me going 😉
This looks super yummy! 🙂
