Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Two cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 to 3 cloves garlic, peeled

  • 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt & pepper
  • Food processor or blender
  1. Step 1

    In the bowl of a food processor or blender, add the beans, garlic, herbs, and a dash of salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Blend the ingredients together on low until they begin to incorporate.

    Slowly drizzle in olive oil while running the blender or food processor. The dip will become smooth and develop a slight sheen.

Tips & Warnings
  • Perfect when served with fresh baked pita chips, or with crudite.
  • Dip is best when made an hour or two before serving, but will keep well in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
  • Try spicing the white bean dip up with the addition of hot red pepper flakes.
  • Raw garlic is extremely potent. Start out with 2 cloves and increase one at a time after tasting until desired flavor is achieved.
