White Bean Dip

a perfect dip for chips or crackers or even a vegetable platter! The spices I used can easily be changed up depending on whats in your kitchen. you could use paprika, or some red pepper flakes to add spice instead of the Cayenne. also parsley would probably work instead of basil. This makes a good simple appetizer for any party.

Ingredients:

2 Cans of White beans such as Navy Beans, Butter Beans or Cannelloni Beans

2 large clove of garlic

5 basil leaves

a handful of spinach leaves (about 1/2 cup)

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

between 1/8-1/4 cup of olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 teaspoon Cayenne pepper


Preparation: Very simple just throw all the ingredients except the olive oil into a blender and start blending. Slowly pour olive oil until the mixture gets smooth and is similar in consistency to guacamole.
