- 3 tablespoons Pine nuts
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Instructions
In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and aromatic. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove.

Chop the parsley and dill finely. Reserve a teaspoon of each for garnish.
Stir the parsley, dill, salt, and black pepper into the blended dip mixture. Pulse briefly in the food processor to incorporate or mix by hand for a chunkier texture.

Drizzle an extra swirl of olive oil on top for a finishing touch if desired.
Serve fresh with pita bread, crackers, or veggie sticks. Enjoy!
