Garlic Herb White Bean Dip
This creamy and flavorful white bean dip is a fantastic, healthy alternative to hummus.
dailyrecipesbook.comI love creating recipes that use fresh, whole ingredients because they leave you feeling energized rather than heavy. This garlic herb white bean dip is a perfect example, as it comes together quickly and works for everything from party appetizers to healthy lunches.
Most people love this dip because it is incredibly versatile. You can swap out the herbs based on what you have in your garden or pantry, and the flavor only gets better after it sits in the fridge for a little while.
Ingredients
- 1 medium garlic clove
- 1/2 cup packed fresh herbs such as basil, thyme, oregano, or chives
- 2 15 ounce cans cannellini beans
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- 1
Peel the garlic and remove any tough stems from your fresh herbs.
- 2
Drain and rinse the beans, but be sure to save a few tablespoons of the liquid from the can in case you need it later for a smoother texture.
- 3
Place the garlic and herbs into a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped.
- 4
Add the beans, olive oil, vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the processor bowl.
- 5
Blend everything until the mixture is smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- 6
If the dip is too thick, add a small amount of the reserved bean liquid and process again until you reach your desired consistency.
๐ก Tips
Store this dip in the refrigerator for up to one week. It tastes even better after chilling for at least an hour. Serve it with fresh veggie sticks, warm pita, or use it as a creamy spread for your favorite sandwiches.
