White Bean Dip ~ A Mediterranian Hummus

White Bean Dip with Tomatoes

As we approach Labor Day, fond remembrance, an honor to all working friends, and a close to Summer, I created a healthy white bean dip that works well for at-home celebrations, or to grab-and-go as you enjoy the holiday with friends and family.

Fresh ingredients are always best for nutritional value and textures, as well as a burst of flavor.  Being that the bean dip is ‘white’, create some festivity surrounding the holiday.  As a suggestion, serve with Blue Tortilla Chips made from blue corn, and garnish with fresh garden tomatoes.  Or, create a dish of crudités with your favorite fresh, crisp vegetables.

 White Bean Dip ~ A Mediterranean Hummus

 2-1/2 cups of cooked white beans such as cannellini, rinsed and drained

2 cloves of garlic, peeled

1 lemon, juiced

½ teaspoon of sea salt

2 Tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil

1 Tablespoon of freshly chopped basil

1 Tablespoon of freshly chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley 

Process all ingredients in a food processor until creamy in consistency.

Note:  Omit the basil and parsley to create more of a lemon and garlic flavor.

About Cynthia Ferich

After writing and self-publishing “MaMa Mia Cucina” in 2007, Cynthia's writing, cooking and culinary teachings evolved into being as an entity surrounding food, fun, family and friends.

In an effort to capture her family’s ‘old world’ Italian recipes for future generations to enjoy, her grandmother, ‘Noni’, and Cynthia joined forces. "She measured, I wrote, and we cooked."

During her grandmother's latter 80 years, she traveled in memory through her life, as they shared in stories of a lifetime and long ago. As they shared this final chapter in her life, what Cynthia soon discovered through all of the measuring, cooking, sharing in the love of a family, and in the love of a friendship, was the passion for cooking, and a love that nourishes us all… It’s all about the FOOD!
