This recipe is not a traditional hummus as it doesn’t use chickpeas, but is inspired by the creamy chickpea-based dip — with a springy, white bean twist. Those looking for a deeper dive into the history of hummus can find more information here and here.
White Bean Dip
White beans are the perfect legume for dips because they have a mild flavor that lets the seasonings shine. Our favorite bean to use is cannelini, which has a naturally buttery taste and creamy texture. Sticking with the classic hummus-inspired elements, we included tahini for creaminess, lemon juice and zest for tartness, and garlic for zing. Olive oil adds richness and sea salt brings it all together. A generous amount of fresh dill adds herby flavor and the immediate feeling that spring is here! We made it, friends! We hope you LOVE this white bean dip! It’s:LemonyGarlickyZestyHerbySpringyQuick & easy& SO delicious! It’s the perfect appetizer or snack, especially served with pita bread, chips, flatbread, crackers, or vegetables. It also goes well in bowls, on toast, in sandwiches, and beyond.
