Vegan White Bean Dip (Creamy)

This creamy vegan white bean dip is the best because it is so easy to make and healthy! In addition, it’s gluten free, soy free, and quick to make.

This Mediterranean inspired bean dip is made with cannellini beans or navy beans blended in a food processor with fresh herbs like dill and also garlic. This vegan white bean dip makes an amazing veggie dip but also delicious with pita chips, bread, or as a sandwich spread.

I love using white beans in my recipes like my white bean salad or baked beans! Since this dairy free vegetarian recipe is customizable, you can change up the flavors easily.

You can also make it as meal prep and use it throughout the week just like my buffalo hummus dip. It’s such a crowd pleaser so make it for your next gathering or parties as an appetizer!

Before we jump into the recipe, let’s talk about how you can customize it and learn some tips.

How to make vegan white bean dip

Ingredients

White Beans

You can really use any kind of white beans you like but I chose to use Great Northern beans. You can also use navy, cannellini or butter beans if you like.

Tahini

Tahini is the secret ingredient to make this creamy dip so I don’t recommend omitting it. You should also make sure to use good quality and pourable tahini as it makes a difference.

Lemon Juice

Freshly squeezed lemon juice gives it a tangy flavor so I don’t recommend omitting it. You can also use lime juice if that’s what you have.

Garlic

Fresh garlic really brings so much flavor but you can use roasted garlic instead. You can also roast the garlic in the oven for even better flavor.

Olive oil

Adding a little bit of olive oil makes this it very creamy and also easy to work with. You can also use garlic infused olive oil if you are a garlic fan like me!

Salt

I usually use pink himalayan salt in my recipes but you can use sea salt. Always adjust to taste and also add more salt if needed.

Fresh Dill

Fresh dill gives this recipe a very unique taste so I think it works great. You can also use fresh rosemary or another herb if you like.

How to make it step by step

• First, rinse and drain the beans and then add all the ingredients into the food processor.

• Next, blend until you have the desired consistency. If you like the consistency to be thinner, you can also add little more water. But, always adjust to taste and serve.
