Simple White Bean Dip
September 11th, 2009 | 
If you’re looking for an alternative to hummus or just want something tasty to dip your veggies or pita bread in, this bean dip is heavenly. I made it with a friend a couple of weekends ago and it was a huge hit with both our families. We served it with warm, fresh pita bread straight from the oven and there was nothing left by the end of our cooking lesson!
A good blender will be able to handle this dip easily, but if yours gets bogged down, I would suggest adding a little more oil or even a bit of water. It shouldn’t make much difference to the end result and will keep your blender running smoothly.
White Bean Dip
makes 2 cups
2 c. white or cannoli beans
1/3 c. olive oil
2 cloves garlic
2 T. fresh parsley
1 tsp. dried oregano
pinch of salt
juice of one lime
Add all ingredients to the blender and blend until smooth. Adjust salt and lime juice to taste if needed. Serve with chips, carrot sticks or pita bread.
