Lemony White Bean Dip…

Use white beans in place of chickpeas to create a smoother and creamier dip!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of hummus, but white bean dip might be my favorite!  So simple to make and just as versatile!  You can spread it on a sandwich in place of mayo or dip into it with cut fresh veggies!  For a crowd pleasing appetizer add a dollop to toasted slices of a multi-grain baguette, drizzle with evoo and add a pinch of sea salt and crushed red pepper flakes!

This appetizer actually turned into our dinner, it was too irresistible to stop eating!

It’s no secret that I love beans!

They are such a perfect blend of complex carbohydrates, protein and fiber that they will keep you full for a long time!  Not to mention they are a great source of folic acid, magnesium, potassium and iron!  Plus, they are cheap…a win win in my book 🙂
