Ingredients

• 15 oz canned white beans (cannellini or great northern)
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp tahini (optional)
• 1 tsp fresh rosemary or thyme leaves
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp water (as needed)

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned white beans thoroughly under cold running water to remove any excess sodium or canning liquid.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and mash them slightly with the flat side of a knife to release their flavor.

Step 3

In a food processor or blender, combine the drained white beans, garlic cloves, olive oil, lemon juice, tahini (if using), rosemary or thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the processor as necessary.

Step 5

If the dip is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition, until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice, depending on your preference.

Step 7

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and drizzle with a little extra olive oil for garnish. You can also sprinkle additional fresh herbs or a pinch of paprika for color.

Step 8

Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, pita chips, or crackers, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
