Last month I made Maggie's omega 3 white bean dip and loved it (I ate the entire batch actually). So I decided to make a few of my own white bean recipes. These dips are full of flavor and super creamy - my favorite combo. If you're a dip lover like me, then please give these recipes a try. For SCD, omit coconut aminos. See notes.
*
Dip #1
Classic Style 
Ingredients:
-1 1/2 cups prepared white beans*
-1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
-3 tablespoons oil (I use grapeseed)
-2 tablespoons tahini (optional, but worth it)
-1 teaspoon garlic granules (or 1/2 clove garlic)
-3 tablespoons coconut aminos
How To:
1. Add beans, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, and coconut aminos to food processor (or blender of choice). Salt is optional here.
2. Blend until incorporated.
3. Drizzle in oil while blending
4. Store in glass container in fridge.
Notes:
*I soak white beans for 48 hours, rinsing 2-3 times. You certainly don't need to soak this long, but I think it's worth it. After the beans are properly soaked, boil in filtered water until tender.
*For SCD, omit coconut aminos and add 1/2 - 1 teaspoon salt.
Dip #2
Karazy Kalamata
Ingredients:
-1 1/2 cups prepared white beans*
-3 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
-3 or 4 tablespoons oil (I use grapeseed)
-2 tablespoons tahini (optional, but worth it)
-1/2 teaspoon garlic granules (or 1/2 clove garlic)
-3 tablespoons coconut aminos
-1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives
How To:
1. Add beans, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, aminos, and olives to food processor (or blender of choice).
2. Blend until incorporated.
3. Drizzle in oil while blending
Notes:
*I soak white beans for 48 hours, rinsing 2-3 times. You certainly don't need to soak this long, but I think it's worth it. After the beans are properly soaked, boil in filtered water until tender.
*For SCD, omit coconut aminos and add 1/2 - 1 teaspoon salt.
Dip #3
Simple Spinach
Ingredients:
-1 1/2 cups prepared white beans*
-1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
-3 or 4 tablespoons olive oil
-2 tablespoons tahini (optional, but worth it)
-1 teaspoon garlic granules (or 1/2 clove garlic)
-3 tablespoons coconut aminos
-1/2 to 1 cup fresh spinach (I like one cup in there)
How To:
1. Add beans, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, aminos, and spinach to food processor (or blender of choice).
2. Blend until incorporated.
3. Drizzle in oil while blending
Notes:
*I soak white beans for 48 hours, rinsing 2-3 times. You certainly don't need to soak this long, but I think it's worth it. After the beans are properly soaked, boil in filtered water until tender.
*For SCD, omit coconut aminos and add 1/2 - 1 teaspoon salt.

Thanks for using my cracker recipe! Aren't they addicting? Those dips all look amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Danielle,
DeleteYes, I ate ALL of them like a crazy person. I just couldn't stop. I kept thinking, does Danielle have this problem? They are super, super awesome. I've made them several times. Thanks for a great recipe.
Oh gawd, I LOVE white bean dip/hummus...and olives...I'm hungry now!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amber. You always make me laugh! I love it.
DeleteThey look really good Amber, I make one with spinach too - it turns the dip a lovely colour!
ReplyDeleteDid you find out if coconut aminos is definitely legal?
Hi Vicky,
DeleteThanks for chiming in about the coconut aminos Vicky!! I need you looking out for me. I just love the stuff - so such a bummer it's a mystery food. We do need to work on getting a scientist though don't we! That will settle everything. I'll work on that. :-)
This dips look wonderful. I loved your lentil hummus so much that I'm definitely going to try one of these soon. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you Hannah! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the lentil hummus. It's one of my favorites. I have to say though, the white bean & kalamata dip is a real crowd pleaser. Several friends taste tested it and LOVED it. I'm making a big batch for my daughter's soccer game next week to share with everyone. :-)
DeleteYour dips rule, Amber! I think it would be great to have this trio of dips for a party or even a simple supper. ;-)
ReplyDeletexo,
Shirley
