A Skinny Dip

A few weeks ago, I wanted to make a healthy snack for a dinner party I was invited to. I came up with this tuna pate, which went down like a house on fire.

Tuna Pate with Crudités:

Ingredients:

1 Tin of Tuna, in Brine
1 Tin of Butter Beans, in Brine (no vinegar added)
A Handful of Flat Leaf Parsley
Juice of 1 Lemon
A Good Glug of Lemon Infused Olive Oil (I used Willow Creek - this is to allow ingredients to blend well together and for flavour)
A drop of Smokey Sesame Oil (for flavour)
A Good Shake of Herbal Salt
A Good Sprinkle of Paprika
Cracked Black Pepper to Taste

Directions:

Drain tuna and butterbeans (you may want to reserve some of the liquid to help with the blending if necessary)
Place all ingredients in a blender
Blend well, until smooth
Taste, add extra lemon juice, sesame oil, lemon infused olive oil, herbal salt, paprika, pepper until you are happy with the flavour
Serve with a selection of crudités such as carrot, cucumber and celery sticks; baby corn or nachos
