Enjoy a creamy dip that's low fat and heart healthy. It's a great dip for whole-grain crackers or fresh crunchy veggies. Beans are a great source of protein and fiber, so cast aside those creamy, cheesy dips for a healthier bowl.
Ingredients:
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 15-ounce can cannellini beans
• Juice and zest of 1 small lemon
• 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• pepper to taste
Preparation:
Place garlic, beans, lemon juice and zest, oil and parsley in a food processor or a blender, and blend until smooth, or desired consistency. Scrape down sides as necessary. Add another teaspoon of oil if you want a smoother dip.
