Rosemary White Bean Dip


Adapted from the Ultrametabolism Cookbook, here is a delicious dip for hummus lovers who want a change. You can spice this dip up-or down via other herbs, spices, salt or pepper. We often eat this for lunch as it is both nourishing and filling.

1 15oz can organic Great Northern Beans
5 tablesppons extra-virgin olive oil
1-2 medium cloves of garlic. (Roast it for a more earthy flavor)
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped rosemary
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Combine all ingredients in a food processor fitted with the metal blade and process until smooth. Add more salt, rosemary or garlic for flavor. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or thyme for a brighter flavor.

Drizzle with olive oil prior to serving and pair with:

Medium red bell pepper, cored seeded and cut into strips
Carrot or celery sticks
Organic blue or yellow corn chips
