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.
