Roasted Garlic White Bean Dip
This roasted garlic white bean dip combines smooth great northern beans with the warm, earthy notes of cumin and the brightness of fresh lemon juice. The roasted garlic adds depth without overpowering the mild flavor of the beans. Its creamy texture, achieved by pulsing in olive oil and a little water, makes it well suited as a spread for bread or as a dip for vegetables. Fresh parsley adds a subtle herbal freshness to round out the savory profile.
