Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz (1 can, drained and rinsed) cannellini beans
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp (finely chopped) fresh rosemary
- 1 clove (minced) garlic
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp sea salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp (optional, for desired consistency) water
- 1 tbsp (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Drain and rinse the cannellini beans thoroughly under cold water, then set aside.
In a food processor, combine the drained beans, olive oil, rosemary, minced garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture on high until it becomes smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
If the dip is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time and process until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped parsley and a drizzle of olive oil.
Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, crackers, or bread, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
