white bean dip

bean dip. it’s almost sad that people stand in line to plunk down $5 for a small container of hummus when it’s so freakin’ simple to make at home. not to mention CHEAP. i mean, how much is a can of beans? please. anyway, looking for something a bit different i looked up recipes for white bean dip. much like hummus, with the exception of swapping the garbanzo beans (chick peas) for white beans (cannellini beans). it was funny to find that there were about 1,000 white bean dip recipes, all cut & pasted from giada delaurentis and no credit given. boring. so, i made up my own. it’s super quick, super simple and super tasty. eat with a bag of pita chips or bake up your own pita chips. you can figure out on your own time how to make pita chips, here’s how i made my delicious bean dip.  it's a fun swap for hummus and way more creamier.

you’ll need:

15.5 ounce can of cannellini beans
3 tablespoons of olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama
1 food processor

you’ll do:

rinse the beans in a strainer until the foam disappears. throw beans in bowl of food processor. add olive oil, lemon juice, Slay Ya Mama. blend. taste with a pita chip. adjust the seasonings. dunzo. now, how much did you spend? $1.50 and 4 minutes of your life? right.
