Healthy White Bean Dip is here to help with healthy noshing. Get ready for the next get-together that is just around the corner. Fast, oil-free & tasty!
Thank goodness there is always a sport or holiday going on in America. That may even be true all over the world. Gladly, there always seems to be a reason to serve dips.
The next get-together is just around the corner and, of course, the next ball game and this dip will satisfy everyone.
The holidays are spaced nicely with a conglomeration all near the end of the year. Yay autumn and winter.
Then there are the sports. Baseball which is about 8 months long, basketball is around 7 months, football is about 6 months and don’t forget soccer.
Healthy White Bean Dip for Game Day and Holidays!
So have a party, get on your nosh and make sure you have this dip on the table.
Do you play tag football at your house on Thanksgiving? We do! Boys and girls. I guess all of the football on the TV isn’t enough. It’s a fun way to get outdoors too.
Now that I think of it that might be a good way that some people escape the dishes. Well, it seems to rotate. Sort of like relay dishes. Yep, sports.
I used Cannellini (white kidney beans) for this new White Bean Dip recipe and mixed them with lots of spices and a little lemon juice.
Did I mention yet that it’s oil-free? Yes! Super healthy with just the right balance of spices.
You’ll find this a really easy recipe too. That’ll get you to your end game a whole lot quicker.

Abby @ The Frosted Vegan
Love those white beans in dip, yum!
Heather
Do you think I could substitute chick peas or red beans for the white beans? Also, I cooked my own and am not using canned.
Ginny McMeans
Yes, you sure can! When they are cooked just measure them as in the recipe above. So your cooked beans should measure 30 ounces and follow the rest of the recipe. They would both be delicious.
Heather
Could I use Olive oil instead of coconut oil?
Ginny McMeans
Yes, it would be great Heather!

Bethany
The recipe says that the serving is 4 cups and the nutritional information says 4 ounces. Is it safe to assume that ounces is the correct unit of measurement? Thanks ! š
Ginny McMeans
Yes, I wish they didn’t have that word Servings at the top Bethany š The recipe makes 4 Cups but the nutritional value is for 4 ounces.

We had this over the holiday weekend and it was perfect with fresh veggies. The tahini helped make it so nice and creamy.
