Lime Aid Dips!

By Meal Times With Mathilde

Two dead easy dip recipes for your next Tex-Mex night, picnic, or even for a little movie night (just add a bumper pack of nacho chips!)

You’ll see a few lime-related recipes appearing over the coming weeks as part of our Lime Aid campaign.

We’re working with local businesses to save some limes (they are very surplus at the moment due to the lack of demand over the pandemic) and raise some funds for Woodberry Aid, a local organisation fighting food poverty in North London.
