white bean dip

Pale legume puree

White bean dip is a spread made from puréed white beans—typically cannellini or Great Northern—blended with olive oil, garlic, lemon, and herbs.

It serves as a lighter, protein-rich alternative to hummus: I brought white bean dip and crudités to the party.

The dip appears frequently in Mediterranean-style appetizer spreads.
