Author: https://www.loveandlemons.com/white-bean-dip/

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 small clove garlic
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp torn fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  • In a food processor, pulse the cannellini beans, olive oil, lemon juice, zest, garlic, salt and several grinds of pepper until combined.
  • If the bean dip looks too thick, slowly add the water with the food processor running. Process until smooth.
  • Blend in the basil

Notes

When I made this for our Garlic Harvest Event, I used bottled lemon juice (Santa Cruz Organic) and omitted the lemon zest. I did not have fresh lemons on hand. However, I always have bottled Santa Cruz Lemon Juice in my fridge.
