Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned cannellini beans
- 1 large garlic clove
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned cannellini beans under cold water to remove excess sodium.
Peel the garlic clove and roughly chop it to make it easier to blend.
In a food processor or blender, combine the cannellini beans, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, water, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
Taste the dip and adjust the seasonings if necessary by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your preference.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and drizzle with a touch of olive oil. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for garnish.
Serve immediately with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables, or refrigerate the dip in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
