When I was growing up, "bean dip" was the stuff in the yellow Frito-Lay can.
Speaking of bean dip from the past, here's an old commercial that features a 1960s homemaker being
And now back to today's post. :)
White Bean with Garlic Dip became a favorite with my family almost immediately. It's fast, simple, has a great flavor, and is delicious with lots of different kinds of crackers and veggies. It's also low in fat, high in fiber, and vegetarian/vegan-friendly. Something for everyone!
White Bean and Garlic Dip
Ingredients:
2 cans ( 15 oz.) cannellini or great northern beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon jarred roasted garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a food processor. Process until smooth. Serve with your favorite crackers, veggies, pita chips, kale chips, etc. I even liked it on apple slices! It would be good as a sandwich spread, too.
The dip tastes best if you allow the flavors to mingle for a bit- an hour in the fridge, or even overnight.
Happy dipping!

Hi Joy, thank you for dropping by North of Wiarton. Dips are always popular..yours not only looking yummy it sounds nice and easy to make too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cindy! That's one of the things that I love about this dip- quick and easy! ;) Thank you so very much for coming by! :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful! I can't wait to give it a try. You're so right about bean dip and the "what it used to be" ideas people have of it. This takes it to a whole new level, which is my idea of the perfect way to use inexpensive ingredients while still making delicious food.
ReplyDeleteMikaela, thank you so much- I hope you like it as much as we do! Thanks for leaving a comment! :)
DeleteI love this bean dip! I've made it just about every week since you posted! It's quick and easy and keeps well in the fridge. It's a great healthy snack for this busy mom! I make it up and then get a little out when I need a snack. I add bell pepper, snack crackers, cheese slices, cubed bread, carrot sticks- whatever's on hand- and it's delicious! And after a night in the fridge, the garlic flavor is wonderfully enhanced! Love, love, love this dip!
ReplyDeleteMary, thank you so much- I am so glad you tried it and that you love it! So do we! :) Love your ideas for dippers....I want to try homemade sour dough croutons next!
