Sometimes you just need a simple appetizer that comes together quickly. Whether it’s for a birthday party, or a night in at home, it’s nice to have an easy, tasty dip recipe to turn to when you need it.

I love beans and lentils, and we try to incorporate them into our menu each week, usually in a simple bean soup or chili. We have a couple of bean dips that we enjoy as well, like this black bean hummus, and this sweet and tangy bean and corn salsa.

This white bean dip is extra delicious with white beans, roasted garlic, lemon, and dill. Lemon and dill is a nice fresh touch, and the roasted garlic adds a wonderful savory flavor to this dip.

Ingredient Notes

  • White Beans – Canned white beans like cannellini beans or navy beans work well in this recipe. Make sure you drain and rinse the beans before adding them to the food processor.
  • Garlic – Roasted garlic adds a lot of flavor to this dip.
  • Olive Oil – Olive oil adds flavor and creaminess to this dip. If you wanted to make an oil free version of this recipe, you probably could, but the texture will be a little different.
  • Lemon Juice – Fresh lemon juice is the best choice for this recipe – it has the best flavor.

Substitutions

This dip could be made with any white bean, like cannellini beans, navy beans, or Great Northern beans. You could even use pinto beans if that’s what you have on hand.

If you’re not a dill fan, you could use something different like fresh parsley or cilantro.

Step by Step Instructions

  1. Roast the garlic and let it cool.

Ingredients

  • 15 ounces Cannellini beans or navy beans
  • 2 heads garlic roasted
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons dried dill

Roast the garlic:

  2. Drizzle garlic with olive oil and fold the foil over, sealing the ends. Roast at 375 degrees F for about 45 minutes, until cloves are soft and golden. Let cool, then squeeze out cloves and set aside.

Make the dip:

  1. Rinse and drain the beans. Place in a food processor with roasted garlic cloves, olive oil, lemon juice, dill, and salt.
  2. Puree until fairly smooth. Add more oil if it seems too thick. Add more salt or dill as desired.

  3. Serve with crackers or tortilla chips.

Recipe Notes

Serving size is about ¼ cup. If you need to make more, this recipe is easily doubled.

Store dip in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for about 3 days.

If you don’t like dill, try fresh parsley or cilantro instead.

    I’m definitely NOT a Superbowl person. I’m in it for the food. Ha! But I do love the olympics. So exciting when they’re on. Especially love the opening ceremony. I try to make a meal from the country that is hosting, and we eat it while watching. It’s really fun. This dip sounds amazing! Bet the lemon and dill make it fantastic : )
