Quick Dip- Cannellini Beans and Cashews

Are you looking for a quick, tasty and healthy appetizer? This fits all three.





I created this recipe out of shear laziness and boy is it good. We're heading to a casual dinner party this evening and I had no desire to go to the market, so I needed to create an appetizer out of ingredients on hand.

This is sort of like humus, minus chickpeas and tahini. :)


Cannellini Beans and Cashew Dip

1 15oz cannellini beans*, drained and rinsed
1 garlic clove
2 t lemon juice
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup whole cashews
1 t Greek seasoning spice

Place all ingredients in the blender and puree until desire consistency. Serve with chopped veggies and/or crackers.



*Cannellini beans are mild white beans related to the kidney bean. I typically have a can on hand as they are extremely versatile.
