White Bean Dip is here to help with healthy noshing. Get ready for the next get-together that is just around the corner. Fast & 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.
So have a party, get on your nosh and make sure you have this White Bean 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.
Another really good dip that would compliment this white bean dip perfectly is Slow Cooker Tomato Salsa made from scratch. It uses fresh tomatoes and you just put everything in the crock~pot and forget it. It’s spicy flavor adds to the party.
I used Cannellini (white kidney beans) for this new recipe and mixed them with lots of spices and a little lemon juice. You’ll find this a really easy recipe too. That’ll get you to your end game a whole lot quicker.

Yes, I wish they didn’t have that word Servings at the top Bethany 🙂 The recipe makes 4 Cups but the nutritional value is for 4 ounces.
Bethany says
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 ! 🙂

Stephanie says
What a great healthy alternative for holiday snacking!
Ginny McMeans says
Yes, it would be great Heather!
Heather says
Could I use Olive oil instead of coconut oil?
Ginny McMeans says
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 says
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.
Abby @ The Frosted Vegan says
Love those white beans in dip, yum!
