Salmon and White Bean Puree
Introducing our salmon and white bean puree recipe! Baby friendly of course, but it also packs enough flavour that it can be used as a spread for older kids and adults too. In fact, it is perfect on toast with eggs.
If you are moving past purees though, you could easily fork mash this recipe instead of blending, or use the puree as a dip for fingers foods.
