Vegetarian White Bean Buffalo Dip
Description
The base of the dip is made by processing drained white beans with cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and medium or hot buffalo sauce until smooth. The mixture is spread in an oven-safe dish, then mixed with additional white beans, some shredded cheeses, and green onions to add texture and flavor. The remaining mozzarella and cheddar are sprinkled on top before baking.
Baking the dip until the cheese bubbles and edges golden enhances the creamy, tangy, and spicy notes. Fresh cilantro and extra green onions are added after baking for bright garnish and contrast. This dip offers a balance of creamy, spicy, and cheesy elements with the added body of white beans.
Serve this dip warm alongside tortilla or pita chips, carrot and celery sticks for dipping. The recipe can be adjusted to increase heat by adding spicier buffalo sauce, spicy cheddar, or jalapeños. It can also be prepared in advance following detailed instructions for make-ahead convenience.
