White Bean Dip

White bean dip is so yummy on bread or with veggies!

There’s something about the simplicity of beans, herbs, and a drizzle of lemon that feels both humble and elegant β€” like Sunday dinner dressed up for company. This creamy White Bean Dip is one of those dishes that looks fancy but comes together in minutes.

Whether you’re spreading it on toasted baguettes or serving it as a dip at your next gathering, it delivers a smooth, savory balance with a sweet pop of color from pomegranate seeds or dried cranberries.

I love combining chickpeas and great northern beans. It’s creamy and smooth and the taste is mild and takes on whatever spices you like.

Pro Tip

Want it even silkier? Add a tablespoon of aquafaba (the liquid from your chickpeas) or a splash of lemon juice while blending. It helps the dip whip up extra creamy without oil.


Nutritional Highlights

  • High in fiber and plant protein thanks to the combo of chickpeas and cannellini beans.
  • Low in fat, no cholesterol which makes it: heart-healthy and oil-free.
  • Packed with micronutrients like magnesium, iron, and folate that support energy and recovery.

Cost Comparison

Homemade versions like this one aren’t just healthier β€” they’re wallet-friendly too.

  • Homemade batch (about 2 cups): ~$2.50 total, or about $0.60 per serving.
  • Store-bought white bean or hummus dip: averages $4–$6 for 10 oz, or about $1.50 per serving.
  • Savings: You save roughly 60% β€” plus you control the salt, oil, and flavor.

🌻 Final Thoughts

This White Bean Dip is proof that simple ingredients can feel special. Serve it warm with crusty bread at Sunday Supper or chilled with sliced veggies for a weekday snack. However you share it, it’s comfort made clean β€” the kind that fits right in at a Southern table.

Stay sunny, y’all!
