Ingredients for April S White Bean Dip

  • 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans (rinsed and drained)
  • Lemon Juice
  • Plain Yogurt
  • Fresh Parsley
  • Creole Seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Pepper
  • Hot Sauce
  • Garlic
  • Tortilla chips, for serving

How to Make April S White Bean Dip

  1. Combine 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans (rinsed and drained), 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a blender.
  2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Chilling also improves the consistency.
  4. Serve chilled with your favorite tortilla chips. Garnish with extra lime wedges or chopped cilantro, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
