White Bean Dip

Created by Steve,

Description

Not only is this white bean dip low in cholesterol but it's filled with fiber and protein.  This fat guy and his slim wife loves this on toast, bruschetta or my baked pita chips.  It rocks!

Ingredients

At a glance
Makes
2 Cups

1 15 oz can white beans drained and rinsed
1 to 3 cloves garlic
pinch of salt
1 T lemon juice
1 tsp sherry vinegar (optional but Steve's favorite)
1 T olive oil (optional traditional)
2 tsp fresh or 1 tsp dried rosemary or dill (optional)
1 T fresh parsley (optional)

Methods/steps

In a food processor or blender drop in the garlic as the blade is spinning.  Or just mince the garlic finely and add it with the beans.  Puree the beans, garlic and lemon juice for about a minute.  Scape down the sides if needed and add a pinch of salt and any of the optional ingredients.  Continue to puree until smooth.  You may need to add a little water to thin this out but you want it thick.

Additional Tips

My wife loves this dip when I put just the sherry vinegar and none of the optional spices.  I prefer a little parsley or something but like it just fine the way it is.
