Recipe White Bean Dip

[JoanMcWench]

Here's a recipe I use for white bean dip ALL the time. It's cheap, quick, effective, & delicious:

Ingredients
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup olive oil, plus 4 tablespoons
1/4 cup (loosely packed) fresh Italian parsley leaves
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
6 pitas
1 teaspoon dried oregano

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
   
2. Place the beans, garlic, lemon juice, 1/3 cup olive oil, and parsley in the work bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely chopped. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer the bean puree to a small bowl.
3. Cut each pita in half and then into 8 wedges. Arrange the pita wedges on a large baking sheet. Pour the remaining oil over the pitas. Toss and spread out the wedges evenly. Sprinkle with the oregano, salt, and pepper. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until toasted and golden in color.
4. Serve the pita toasts warm or at room temperature alongside the bean puree.

That does sound very good and what an easy way to feed guests a snack before the main meal. I am saving this recipe.

That white bean dip recipe is just begging me to make it. I have to try this soon! That first recipe with the cream cheese and salsa is definitely a must try! We always have cream cheese and salsa as separate dips and I'd always mix them on the chips so mixing these two would be perfect! A found a new favorite dip recipe so thank you!
