Not so long ago, I shared a few recipes that I prepared for a dinner I was hosting for the board members of a fundraising group I belong to (those recipes if you don't remember were The Best Green Beans Ever & Eggplant Caprese Salad).  I don't know why back then I didn't also share the White Bean Dip I served.  Seriously, it's good stuff.

I had made this dip a few years ago for a party and then sort of forgot about it.  Then when I was making my menu for the ladies of the board, it popped in my head again.  Originally, I had used fresh herbs but this time around I didn't have them on hand, so I changed up the recipe to use dry herbs instead.  I was pleasantly surprised.  It worked out fine.

To make the White Bean Dip:

• Heat some garlic and the herbs in a pan with olive oil
• Add canned cannellini beans (rinsed and drained) to the pan and cook just a few minutes until softened
• Process in a food processor with a little water to thin out
• Refrigerate

White Bean Dip Recipe Notes:

• Use a good quality olive oil for drizzling on the finished dip for best flavor
• Refrigerate at least one hour prior to serving, although a few hours is recommended
• Store leftover dip in refrigerator for up to a week
