This basil and garlic white bean dip is so easy to make and tastes wonderfully fresh. You can’t go wrong with garlic, basil, and fresh lemon juice.
This dip is perfect served with pita or veggies.

Basil & Garlic White Bean Dip
Ingredients
- 1 can (540 ml/19 fl oz.) white kidney (cannellini) beans drained

Instructions

- Blend until mixed (you may have to stir it occasionally).
- Serve chilled.

I made this today! It was a nice mild dip. The recipe looked so good that I made a double batch, but that was not necessary – it made lots. Not that I mind leftovers, haha.
So glad you enjoyed it!! Yeah, last time I made it I had enough to give to my mom and sister!
