At every holiday party, you’re bound to find a variety of creamy dips. This one won’t leave you feeling heavy. Packed with protein, fiber and lots of flavor, you’ll want to keep going back for more.

For this recipe, you’ll only need a few ingredients. White beans that you either cook yourself or canned ones (rinsed and drained), extra virgin olive oil, roasted garlic, fresh lemon, and fresh herbs. I used parsley but rosemary and basil would also be delicious.

Use a high power blender or food processor to get to make it light and creamy. Top with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and optional roasted red peppers or leftover roasted garlic.

Serve with a variety of crunchy vegetables like snap peas, radish slices, carrots, raw broccoli, and cauliflower, or crackers.

This recipe is perfect for holiday parties but also for snacking and game night. You can use it as a spread on sandwiches too! Go ahead and pin this recipe and tag me on Instagram (@marisamoore) when you make it!
