Garlicky White Bean Dip

This dip is easy and quick to make and it’s so inexpensive!  If you don’t have a food processor you can use a potato masher or the back of a fork. 

Garlicky White Bean Dip
(Print this recipe!)

1 clove garlic, minced

salt to taste

Directions:

In food processor combine white beans, garlic,olive oil and a small squeeze of lemon juice.

Process until it starts to come together.  If it’s too thick add a splash of water or vegetable broth to thin it out a bit.

Add parsley and salt, to taste.

Continue processing until it reaches a nice smooth dip-able texture.  Scoop out into a bowl and use as a dip for veggies and crackers, in place of hummus, or as a spread on a sandwich or a wrap.

This is sooooo good!  And it’s so simple I can’t believe I didn’t think of it sooner!  I can’t wait to play around with a few different variations of this dip!  Enjoy!
