Notes
- Drain and rinse the cannellini beans thoroughly before blending to ensure a clean flavor and smooth texture.
- Fresh rosemary and garlic provide the best aroma and taste; dried herbs may not deliver the same intensity.
- For a creamy consistency, use a food processor or blender to properly combine the ingredients.
- Store the prepared dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days to maintain freshness.
