Ingredients

• 4 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 15-ounce can Cannellini beans (rinsed and drained)
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Tahini
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Water (if needed)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, followed by the fresh spinach. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the cannellini beans, garlic cloves, lemon juice, tahini, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and the cooked spinach.

Step 3

Pulse the ingredients for 30 seconds to combine, then blend until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed.

Step 4

While blending, drizzle in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. If the dip is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 5

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.

Step 6

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of ground cumin (optional).

Step 7

Serve immediately with vegetable sticks, whole-grain crackers, or toasted pita. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
