Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Drain and rinse the white beans thoroughly to remove any canning liquid. Peel the garlic cloves and squeeze fresh lemon juice.
  2. Blend the Ingredients: Add the white beans, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil to a food processor or blender. Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides occasionally.
  3. Season the Dip: Taste the dip and add salt and black pepper to your preference. Blend again briefly to incorporate the seasoning evenly.
  4. Serve: Transfer the white bean dip to a bowl and drizzle with a little more olive oil if desired. Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, crackers, or warm bread. Alternatively, refrigerate for an hour to enhance the flavors before serving.

Notes

  • Use cannellini or great northern beans for the best texture and flavor.
  • For a thinner consistency, add a tablespoon of water or extra olive oil while blending.
  • This dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Add fresh herbs like parsley or rosemary for added flavor variations.
  • For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
