White Bean Dip
White beans, also known as white navy beans, offer extraordinary health benefits. They are loaded with antioxidants and provide a good supply of detoxifying molybdenum. They are also a good source of fiber and protein and produce alpha-amylase inhibitors which help regulate fat storage in the body.
Equipment
- High speed Blender
Ingredients
- 1 15- ounce can of white beans
- 1/2 cup raw soaked cashews
- 1 clove of garlic or 1 teaspoon of dry garlic powder
- 3-4 tablespoons of bean juice from the can aquafaba
- 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley for decorations on top optional
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a large food processor and blend. Start with 3 tablespoons of bean juice from the can (aquafaba) and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
- Blend until pureed. Test for seasonings and consistency. Add 1 tablespoon of bean juice from the can (aquafaba) and then 1 tablespoon of lemon juice as needed to achieve the consistency desired.
- Serve with “dippers” of your choosing, such as veggies, low-fat crackers, or a sliced baguette.
Notes
- Low Sodium beans are very important, especially when setting aside some portion of the juice to use in the recipe.
- Think about other things you can do with this dip including making a pasta dish simulating an alfredo sauce or adding to a soup as a cream replacement.
