Garlic Herb White Bean Dip

This garlic herb white bean dip is a delicious and healthy dip recipe that everyone will love! It’s a unique alternative to hummus.

Alex and I love creating healthy recipes for easy entertaining. Our philosophy is that recipes with healthy, whole foods can be just as delicious (or more so) than their counterparts, so why not serve something healthy and avoid that bloated, heavy feeling afterwards? That’s where this white bean dip came in. We wanted to create something that was an alternative dip to the typical hummus, but just as tasty. Enter: garlic herb white bean dip. It’s perfect for using fresh herbs from the garden, and if it’s winter: well, we’re not averse to picking some up from the store either.

How to make white bean dip

This white bean dip recipe is very simple to prepare. To make white bean dip or any type of blended dip like hummus, you’ll need a food processor on hand. Here’s the food processor we use. To make the dip, simply wizz everything up in the food processor: it takes only 5 to 10 minutes to put together! Its great as a party appetizer, especially since it’s a gluten-free and vegan bean dip.  It’s also perfect for lunches: we brought a big batch to our office to eat with celery and carrots.

This white bean dip calls for ½ cup of fresh herbs. You can use any fresh herbs you like. It’s especially easy in the summertime when we have lots of herbs in our garden. In the winter you can splurge on some store-bought herbs, or you could throw in a few spoonfuls of basil pesto to taste. Our favorite herb to use in this dip is fresh basil: it’s flavor is beautiful in the dip! If you use rosemary, remember that a little rosemary goes a long way, so only use a few rosemary leaves.
