Fava Bean Dip Recipe

This vegan bean dip makes for the perfect (and addicting) pick-me-up snack. The fava bean is filled with nutrients and makes for an excellent source of protein. We paired this recipe with Old Salt Merchants Red Clay Soleil to add a beautiful vibrant color as well as a bold hint of flavor. The great thing about this recipe is how versatile it is. Use it as a dip for veggies or chips, a spread for a sandwich, or even use to dress your salads. With only 8 ingredients, you have got to try out this vegan staple!
