Crudites with Garlicky White Bean Dip
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil, extra-virgin
- 3 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 15 1/2 oz canned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 Tbsp water
- 1/8 tsp table salt, or to taste
- 1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste
- 1/2 tsp paprika, or chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 1 small yellow peppers, or red pepper, cut into thick slices
- 12 average cherry tomatoes
- 1 small cucumbers, cut into spears
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
Directions
- To prepare dip, heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat and
sauté garlic, stirring constantly, until garlic just begins to turn golden,
about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a food processor, combine garlic-olive oil mixture, beans and lemon
juice. Process until smooth, slowly adding 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to
obtain a thick yet creamy consistency. Season to taste.
- Transfer dip to a bowl and garnish with paprika or chopped parsley, if
desired. Place dip on serving platter and arrange pepper, tomatoes,
cucumber, and carrots around it.
