White Bean Dip (EASY!)
I made this dip yesterday for a quick and easy appetizer - I brought chips made of quinoa/flax seed/sesame - it was gobbled up!!
White Bean Dip
By Catherine Newman
Inexpensive, nearly instantaneous, and deliciously wholesome, White Bean Dip is a creamy, tasty alternative to hummus or pinto bean dips. As my 8-year-old son put it affectionately, "It's really our main dip." And dinner's a party when appetizers become the main course.
Note on Dippers: Serve the most wholesome dippable food you can get away with: whole grain breadsticks or crackers (Ak-Mak and Finn Crisps are brands that we like, though they need to be broken into pieces); strips of whole wheat bread or toast; pita chips; whole grain tortilla chips; and veggies such as snow peas, raw carrots, bell peppers, and celery sticks, or lightly steamed broccoli, sugar snap peas and green beans.
Hands-On Time: 10 minutes
Ready In: 10 minutes
Ingredients
2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained and well rinsed
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, more or less
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch thyme
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 large garlic clove, pressed
Directions
Blend all ingredients in a food processor until very smooth, adding a tablespoon or two of hot water if the beans seems disinclined to become creamy.
