Ingredients 

  • 1 15-ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • ¼ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained (reserve the oil)
  • ¼ cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1 small clove garlic
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or a little of the reserved oil from the tomatoes
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper, or to taste

Instructions 

  • Add the rinsed and drained cannellini beans, drained sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, garlic, and balsamic vinegar to a food processor.
  • Drizzle in the olive oil.
  • Process the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If it's too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time and process until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Taste the dip and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
  • Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. For the best flavor, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
  • Serve chilled with bagel chips, toasted pita wedges, or fresh vegetable sticks.

Notes

  • If you like a thinner dip you can add 1 tbsp of water at a time to thin.
