This is one of my go-to recipes when I need something quick, satisfying, and something I know guests will love. Actually, I’m asked to bring this dip to parties because though it’s simple, it’s a real hit. Tuscan white bean dip has that rustic, creamy, comforting feel—simple ingredients transformed into something really special. It’s proof that you don’t need anything complicated to make something delicious. You can use either cannellini beans or white beans for this dish. You can also use fresh thyme or oregano (or a little of both); noting that oregano can be overpowering so you just want to use a little. A small amount of dried thyme or oregano works well too.
Directions
Add the beans, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and a little salt to a food processor. Blend until smooth. Add in your fresh thyme and/or oregano, or both, and process a few seconds more. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with fresh veggies, crackers or bread. You can also use this as a spread on a sandwich or wrap; or add to a pasta dish. Keep remaining dip in an airtight container for up to five days.
