I was invited to a pool party and light summer dinner at a friend’s home. Each of the 5 of us she invited offered to bring a dish or two, and my friend requested I make a white bean dip I’d made before.

White bean dip is nice and light, and the lemon and parsley are a nice counter balance to the simplicity of the flavor from the beans.
I hope you enjoy!
Ingredients for White Bean Dip:
Delicious white bean dip with lemon and parsley
- 1 can, cannelini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 large lemon, just the juice
- 1-2 tsp salt, to taste
- 1/4 c. olive oil
- 3 TBSP fresh parsley, coarsley chopped (plus a whole leaf or two for garnish)
- Put the beans, oil and parsley into a blender to puree. Try not to over mix to avoid it becoming gluey ~ I like to still see pieces of bean in the dip.
- Add the lemon juice and salt, and blend in gently with a spatula, again to avoid over mixing. Taste and add more lemon or salt if you desire.
- Garnish with the whole parsley leaf and serve with warm pita triangles or thin slices of toasted baguette, or just sliced carrots, cucumber and radish.

Thank you for this recipe, it seems like it will be nice and flavorful, an element that is often missing from vegan and vegetarian food. My brother-in-law is a vegan, so I think I will make this for the next family party! Are there any other recipes you’d recommend?
I’ve actually made some yesterday and I was really surprised how nice and tasty it was. My daughter sat and ate most of it with her celery sticks.
Hi Michelle,
Check out my blog, The Trendy Vegan, for plenty of other ideas ~ http://www.thetrendyvegan.blogspot.com. Good luck!
tried the dip it was absolutely yummy. Its so good of you to be writing to help the charity btw. How does that work?
Mmm, this looks good – and healthy, too. White beans are great for increasing energy and lowering the appetite while still staying pretty low in calories… Sounds great to me! :)
Hi, Thanks for the lovely recipe. I gave it a try and absolutely loved it. My last attempt was making hummus and it went horrendously wrong This is much more simple and far tastier.
thanks
This looks delicious, one of my best friends is a vegan and is always on the lookout for new recipes, I’ll send her this…and I think I’ll make it myself, too! It sounds yummy and surprisingly easy!
I just switched to vegan! I thought it was going to be hard, going from vegetarian to vegan, but it wasn’t at all. I tried this recipe yesterday. I’m not sure that I got it quite right so I think I’m going to try it again. Thanks for sharing!
