Alex and I love creating healthy recipes for easy entertainment. Our philosophy is that healthy whole food recipes can be just as delicious (or better) 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 would be an alternative to the typical hummus, but just as delicious. Enter: white bean garlic herb dip. It’s perfect for using fresh herbs from the garden and if it’s winter: well, we’re happy to pick some from the store too. Read on for this vegan bean dip recipe – it’s sure to become a house favorite!

How to make a white bean dip
This white bean dip recipe is super easy to make. To make white bean dip or any type of mixed dip like hummus, you’ll need a food processor on hand. This is the food processor we’re using. To make the dip, simply mix everything together in the food processor: it only takes 5-10 minutes to assemble! It’s great as a party appetizer, especially since it’s a gluten-free and vegan bean dip. It’s also perfect for lunch: we brought a large batch to our office to eat with celery and carrots.
This white bean dip calls for 1/2 cup of fresh herbs. You can use any fresh herbs you like. This is particularly easy in the summer when we have a lot of herbs in the garden. In the winter, indulge in store-bought herbs or add a few spoonfuls of basil pesto if you like. Our favorite herb for this dip is fresh basil: it tastes great in the dip! If using rosemary, remember that a little rosemary will do, so only use a few rosemary leaves.
