This white bean spread can make for a great filling snack, and is awesome as an appetizer or party food. It packs a bit of spiciness from the red pepper flakes, which you can omit if you don’t like spicy!
Ingredients:
- 1 can or about 2 cups of cooked white beans (navy beans, cannellini beans, etc). If using canned, use Eden Organic!!
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove of fresh garlic, chopped
- juice from 1/2 lemon
- pinch of sea salt
- pinch of black pepper
- generous pinch of red pepper flakes
- fresh basil leaves for top
Add everything except basil to a blender or food processor and mix well – but leave it a little chunky.
Add fresh basil leaves to the top!
You can use this white bean spread as a dip for veggies or crackers, or spread it on some Ezekiel bread.
Even BETTER….top it with roasted eggplant!

Just made this today for my husband who I’m trying to get on board for going vegan. He approves!
I added some cilantro and cholula hot sauce as well.
