A creamy and healthy dip made from white beans, zucchini, and garlic. A delicious and easy to make appetizer!
I promised more zucchini recipes, and I wasn’t lying. :) As long as the garden is going strong, I have to figure out what to do with all the produce! And if I have a successful recipe, I’ll be sharing it for sure!
This recipe for white bean zucchini dip was born out of my love for bean dip and my need to sneak some zucchini into yet another dish. I remembered a recipe in a cookbook called “Desperation Entertaining” that called for zucchini, parsley, and tahini – all blended up into a creamy dip. We can’t do tahini, but I loved the idea of zucchini in a dip, so I decided to adapt it to suit our diet. If you are in need of an appetizer that’s allergy friendly, then this dip is for you!
White beans made a nice addition to the dip – they add protein and fiber, and when blended, they make this dip nice and creamy. I don’t miss the tahini at all! I love the fresh flavors of the garlic and parsley – they really liven this dip up!

Interesting timing. I made salad dressing with white beans just today. I’ll add the zucchini next time and hope it works without the oil.
Thanks, Kelly!

I’ve never tried that, but you could spice it up with another herb or spices!
