    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.

    Jump to Recipe

    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, vegan white bean soup, vegan white bean chili 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

    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.

    Tips

    • After blending, place it in the fridge for an hour so it will be cold and get thicker.
    • Make it a little spicy by adding red pepper.
    • If the recipe is too thick, add more water.
    • Always adjust to taste and add more salt if needed!

    Can you make it with no oil?

    You can try but it won't be as creamy. You can also add a little bit more tahini if you are not using oil to make it.

    How to store this homemade vegan white bean dip

    You can store it in the fridge, covered, for up to 1 week. It even taste more delicious as it cools down!
