I love bean dip and this recipe happens to be a staple for any party that I may be throwing or attending. It’s a great alternative to hummus… even though hummus is equally awesome.
Italian White Bean Dip
What you’ll need:
1x 15 oz can of Cannellini beans
1/4 cup olive oil, 1 tsp for topping
1/2 cup basil leaves
1/4 cup italian parsley
1 lemon juiced
1 garlic clove, chopped before puree
1 tsp red pepper flakes for a kick!
salt and freshly cracked red pepper to taste
What you’ll do:
Chop the garlic and herbs before putting in blender. Rinse the beans. Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. Serve in a cute bowl and garnish with a little olive oil and some leftover herbs. Serve with pita chips. This is a crowd pleaser!

I haven’t seen this dip before but I like it. What a great alternative to the usual dips this time of year.
Hi Lindsey, I like any kind of dips and this one looks very easy to make. I would try to make this one for I have all the ingredients already except the beans. ^_^. By the way I see your Luau party I would love to join it for I have some pineapple dish to share “the Filipino way” ^_^.
Thanks for dropping at my site I do appreciate it and if you will allow me I am going to add this kitchen site of yours to my kitchen blog.
Happy weekend!
This sounds delicious and how perfect for the football food buffet! Definitely link this one up over at Tailgating Time tomorrow! 🙂
this dip is very delicious,here,in romania we have almost the same recipe,one difference:we sprinkle the top of the dip with fried onion!
