The best beans for white bean dip

You can use any white bean for this bean dip recipe. Variations include navy beans, Great Northern beans, and white kidney beans (also called cannellini beans). Use canned white beans or scratch-cooked white beans for this bean dip. Either will be great!

How to serve artichoke bean dip

Serve this dip with crostini, veggies, soft French bread, or crackers for parties or packed in your lunch. To serve for parties, spread the dip over a plate drizzled with a little extra virgin olive oil and fresh herb sprigs. I recommend making this dip 24 hours before serving for optimal flavor.

    This is delicious and also quick and easy to make! The only change I made was adding one fresh garlic clove and about a tsp. of lemon zest just because I thought it would make it even yummier!

    As I am vegan I used a Vegan “feta” for this white bean dip. I was craving something savory to snack on and I happened to have everything for this dip. It was delicious!! I served the dip with some raw veggies (sugar snap peas, purple sprouting broccoli, carrots, celery, radishes, and baby Bok Choy pieces) and some toasted pita triangles that I toasted in the veg with a little live oil brushes on and some garlic powder and dried mixed herbs sprinkled on top. Next time I will make some seeded crackers to try with it. The dip was a major hit with everyone, even my hubby who is not normally a fan of any dips.

      So glad you liked it! Great idea to sub the cheese. You can always just leave it out and it's just as delicious and naturally vegan 🙂 Thanks for the feedback...much appreciated!
