Ingredients
- 1 (15 oz.) can White beans , drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 small garlic clove , minced
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly minced rosemary (or other fresh herb)
Instructions
- In a blender or the bowl of a food processor fitted with an S blade, add the drained beans, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, rosemary, and 1 tablespoon of water. Secure the lid and process until the beans start to break down.
- If the dip isn't looking smooth, add more water 1 tablespoon at a time, and blend again. The dip should look silky smooth after 1 to 2 tablespoons of added water, but this will vary on the bean & how well they were drained.
- Taste the dip and make any adjustments you like. You can add more lemon juice or lemon zest for a tart flavor, or add black pepper or crushed red pepper flakes for more spice.
- Transfer the dip to an airtight container and store it in the fridge until you're ready to serve it. It will keep well in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes
- Nutrition information is for roughly a 1/4 cup of dip. This information is automatically calculated and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.
- This recipe should work well with Great Northern, cannellini, or navy beans. If you have garbanzo beans, make hummus instead!
- Note: If you're not a rosemary fan, try adding fresh basil or dill. It's also delicious with dried oregano! (Start with just a 1/4 teaspoon when using dried herbs.)
