White Bean Dip Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups white beans, cooked (rinsed and well-drained (two 15-ounce cans))
  • ½ cup chopped parsley (packed)
  • ⅓ cup chopped chives (packed)
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • ¼ olive oil (extra virgin)
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 12 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp onion powder ((optional))
  • 2 tsp fresh rosemary ((optional))
  • A handful of roasted walnuts ((optional))

Instructions

  1. To a food processor or a blender, add all of the ingredients (start with smaller amounts of lemon juice, lemon zest, and rosemary) and puree for 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides if needed. For a dip with more texture, blend for 30 seconds. For a smoother dip, blend for longer.
  2. Add walnuts and pulse a few times until they incorporate (optional). Don't blend them fully.
  3. Taste and adjust the flavor if needed- more salt for saltiness, lemon juice and zest for tanginess, or garlic for depth.
  4. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for 1-2 hours, which will allow the dip to thicken. Serve with pita chips, crackers, or vegetables of choice.
  5. Save in a covered container, in a refrigerator for up to 5 days.
