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 platesHowever, 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.

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.
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.
