Easy White Bean Dip
This delicious recipe for Easy White Bean Dip is a staple in gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, and the healthy Mediterranean Diets.
Servings: 6 -8 servings
Ingredients
- Cannellini Beans white kidney beans– 1 can (15-16 ounce). Drain and then rinse the beans before using in this recipe.
- Olive Oil extra virgin preferred– ¼ cup.
- Water-1 ½ tablespoons I suggest using fresh water rather than drained from the bean can water.
- Lemon Juice– 1 ½ tablespoons.
- Garlic- 1 clove minced.
- Seasonings to taste- while you could use salt or pepper I like to use different kinds of seasonings such as these (cumin and paprika are popular choices).- one to 2 teaspoons is usually enough. Cayenne Pepper is another popular choice.
Instructions
- If you have not rinsed and drained your beans, do so before you start.
- Combine all of your ingredients in your food processor (or whatever you are using to make this in). I suggest waiting to add any seasonings until you are able to taste the progress of your dip.
- Process your dip for 30 seconds, stopping to taste the progress and scrape the sides of the container. Season as needed at this point. Repeat this step until your dip is a smooth texture.
- Transfer to a serving bow, cover, and refrigerate. When ready to serve, add any additional oil, lemon, or seasonings to the top as desired.
Recipe Notes
Toast the wedges until crisp. You can top with a squirt or drizzle of olive oil before toasting.
Arrange the wedges around the dip prior to serving.
Pair this dip with a great tasting wine when you serve it.
I like a pinot noir with this recipe. Other great wines to pair this with would include a white zinfandel and a Chianti.
