Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 425 grams canned white beans (cannellini or navy beans), drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons water (or more as needed)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika (for garnish, optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the drained and rinsed white beans, lemon juice, olive oil, water, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the food processor with a spatula.
If the dip is too thick, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more lemon juice, salt, or cumin if desired.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of paprika, if using.
Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, whole-grain crackers, or pita bread, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
