White Bean Lemon Rosemary Dip

January 28, 2014 by Audra 13 Comments

It’s Super Bowl week and my mind is on fun party foods. Today is a healthy one that is so easy and delicious it makes an appearance and pretty much every football or other fun gathering I host. Have you ever made a dip with white beans? It’s way creamier than hummus in my opinion, just as full of protein, and so adaptable and delicious. While my guests usually count on me to have a selection of delectable sweet treats available, I always like to have a well rounded party spread and this is a long time favorite.

This is my favorite version, loaded with fresh rosemary, lemon and just a touch of garlic. It is amazing with almost any dippable object- I adore it with pretzels the most but of course crunchy veggies work too. Rosemary not your favorite herb? I’ve made this with basil and thyme as well with lots of success as well as way more garlic when I’m in the mood for that. A food processor or blender makes throwing this dip together take minutes and it tastes even better after sitting in the fridge for a day. I don’t plan on hosting much of a Superbowl Party this year, but luckily it’s so darn easy I can have it any old time I want!

    Roasting the garlic first adds a wonderful taste.

    I love hummus as a healthy snack! Especially among a sea of not-so-healthy snacks on Superbowl Sunday! Love this lemon and rosemary version :)

    I always make my hummus with cannellini, because it’s smoother, creamier.
    This is lovely, Audra. Hope you’re well. Waiting for Baby Boy! xo

    I actually have made a dip with white beans but this truly does look insanely creamy!
    I wish I didn’t just drop my food processor yesterday so I could make this RIGHT NOW!

    I’d kick myself for not having thought about a white bean dip before! I love white beans but never tried them in dip form…I also love the presence of rosemary (one of my favorite herbs) but I’m pretty sure I’ll be trying it with basil and maybe sage, too.

    xo, Elisa

    This is awesome! And so much healthier than queso. It’d be fun to add roasted garlic to this :)
