Keep things light and nourishing with this protein-packed creamy dip that works just as well as an appetizer as it does a sandwich spread.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 can (15.5-ounces) white cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/3 cup low fat cottage cheese
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 2-1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Gather and prepare all ingredients.
- Add the beans, cottage cheese, garlic, lemon juice, 1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil, rosemary, oregano and salt to a food processor or high-powered blender (I used my Vitamix) and process until smooth and creamy, about 1-1/2 minutes.
- Spoon the dip into a small bowl, cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
- To serve, remove from the refrigerator and allow the dip to come up to room temperature for best flavor. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the top before serving.
- Store any leftover dip in a covered container in the refrigerator.
