This cannellini bean dip is infused with fresh + fragrant rosemary, olive oil, a touch of lemon juice, a bit of garlic, and then drizzled with even more olive oil to finish it off. Yummy.

I'm a big fan of dips. I can eat dips, pita, and olives for dinner and I'm one happy camper. I love to make everything from eggplant dips to tzatziki.

I also have another white bean dip on here that I'm a big fan of - my sun-dried tomato and basil white bean dip. On that note, we had a mid-September frost (crazy, I know!) that killed my beloved basil plant. Not impressed.

This dip also made me think of my whipped feta with fresh herbs recipe - another dip/spread that's perfect for an appetizer table.

Rosemary always reminds me of cooler temperatures, but this dip really works year-round in my opinion. Now that football's back (go Broncos!), this is something you could serve as a healthier option on game day.

This vegan dip recipe is really easy to prepare. You add everything to the bowl of a food processor and process it for a few minutes. Rosemary needles can be a little tough, so I made sure to blend it for long enough that they were suitably broken down.

Ingredients
 

  • 1 (19 fluid ounce) can white beans drained
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary needles
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Remove the needles from the stems of the rosemary sprigs. It's ok if you don't get an exact tablespoon since it's kinda hard to measure them.
  • Add the ingredients to the bowl of your food processor. Process on high while drizzling the oil in slowly. Stop to scrape down the sides. I processed the dip for a few minutes to ensure the rosemary needles were broken down enough. 
  • Serve immediately or chill first. I like to drizzle a bit of olive oil on top just prior to serving.

Notes

  • This is the food processor I used to make this dip.
  • If you use a smaller can of beans e.g. 15 fluid ounces, I suggest adding slightly less rosemary. You can always add more in if needed.

    I'm prepping for Thanksgiving right now and had a ton of leftover rosemary and this was exactly what I needed. Super quick and delicious - will be good to munch on while dinner cooks. Thank you!

    This looks absolutely scrumptious! Definitely making this for our small NYE get together! Love that beautiful bowl, too. May I ask where it's from?

      Thank you! I hope you enjoy it. 🙂 I got it from Restoration Hardware a few years ago. I believe it was Paloma something or another nesting bowls?

    I just made this and it was very tasty and very simple! It seems to be unfussy as I well, as I was able to easily adjust the ingredients to taste. I will definitely make it again. It would be the perfect thing to whip up for a potluck if one was short on time (perhaps with some homemade crackers and veggies for a nice crudites platter). I also love that this is vegan and healthy! It would surely please a crowd!

    I just tried making this in my vita mixer which I use for everything since I dont have a food processor. Otherwise I followed your recipe. It came out like paste... idk why. ?? Any ideas.?

      Hi! Vitamix blenders are VERY powerful, so I can see how it would come out as a bit of a paste. It's hard to describe the texture I achieved... sorta like a firm hummus maybe? It's not really meant to be light and fluffy. You could try adding a bit of water to thin it out maybe?

    This was delicious. I tried it as an alternative to a bean dip I did not like on a food plan I'm trying out. I used overcooked great northern beans from the pressure cooker and dried herbs de provence because I was lazy looking through my spice drawer for rosemary. Anyway. This was really good. I recommend a hearty pinch of salt.
