Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 ounces cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 large garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions
Add the drained and rinsed cannellini beans to a food processor.
Peel the garlic clove and add it to the food processor.
Add olive oil, fresh lemon juice, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
If you like a bit of heat, add the optional red pepper flakes as well.
Process the mixture on high for about 1-2 minutes, or until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time, blending until you reach your desired consistency.
Remove the white bean dip from the food processor and transfer it to a serving bowl.
Garnish the dip with the chopped fresh parsley and an additional drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
Serve immediately with your choice of crackers, fresh veggies, or pita bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
