Easy white bean dip is a great addition to any party menu

I love to entertain friends and family with good food and drink. There is nothing I enjoy more than setting the kitchen island with pretty plates, napkins, and snacks to have with wine or cocktails and enjoy some lively conversation with our company.

However, sometimes, a party is planned at the last minute, so having easy to make recipes are high on my list. This delicious easy white bean dip is a great addition to any party menu. It is quick and super easy to make – and your guests are sure to love the subtle balance of flavors packed into each bite. It is perfect with mildly seasoned pita chips (recipe below!) or vegetable crudités.

 

Where else can I use white bean dip?

If you're looking for other ways to enjoy this easy white bean dip I have a few suggestions!

• Try spread on crackers or small slices of toasted baguette topped with chopped cherry tomatoes.
• Use as a hearty spread for your sandwich instead or mayo or mustard.
• Spread on cooked pizza dough and top with feta, olives & spinach.

Tip: A little bit of fresh sage goes a long way. If you aren’t sure how much to use, start with a small amount. Then taste and add more, if desired.

Although you can use the same extra virgin olive oil for the entire recipe, adding a drizzle of a higher quality variety right before serving will add an extra “pop” of flavor.

Easy White Bean Dip with Seasoned Pita Chips

Ingredients:

Seasoned Pita Chips:

6 pitas 3 T. olive oil salt and pepper, to taste

White Bean Dip:

1 15 oz. can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

3 cloves fresh garlic, peeled 2 T. fresh lemon juice 2 – 3 large fresh sage leaves, chopped 1/3 c. regular extra virgin olive oil

salt and pepper, to taste 1 T. high-quality extra virgin olive oil

dash cayenne pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut each pita into 8 equal-sized wedges. Lightly brush pita wedges with olive oil on both sides and place on lined baking sheet.

Season pita with salt and pepper before placing in oven. Bake for 5-6 minutes before turning each wedge to toast the opposite side. Return to oven and continue baking for another 5 or 6 minutes, or until pita wedges are golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside.

Add cannellini beans, fresh garlic, lemon juice, sage leaves, and olive oil to the bowl of a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.

Pour bean mixture into a serving bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Right before serving, add a dash of cayenne pepper and a drizzle of some high-quality extra virgin olive oil. Serve with seasoned pita chips or vegetable crudités.
