For a healthy and tasty dip or spread this White Bean Hummus is perfect for any occasion. This is not a traditional hummus since garbanzo beans or tahini are not a part of the ingredients list. However, the white beans create a smooth and creamy texture with a tart bite from the lemon juice. The flavors all work well together and the taste is quite addicting. The best part is that you don't have to pull out the food processor unless you want to and the use of canned beans make this convenient to whip together in a pinch. A spoon is all you need to mash the ingredients together. Great appetizer or snack.
Enjoy this with whole wheat pita chips, veggies, or spread onto a sandwich. Yummy!
