Hey friends!

I don’t know about you, but I legit make bean dips every other week, if not every week. For reals.

They take about 10 minutes to whip up and they always hit the spot.

When I’m not in the mood to cook after all week, an easy bean dip recipe with some chips or veggie sticks is the way to go!

Plus, it’s super inexpensive. I bought a can of unsalted beans for less than a buck and I always have the other ingredients on hand.

How Long Does White Bean Dip Keep?

If you’re in our home, 1 day, lol.

Just kidding.

Maybe….

Seriously, dip will keep in the fridge, covered, for about 3-4 days.

Variations You May Enjoy

I used white navy beans, but you could totally use white kidney beans (also known as cannellini beans)
Greek yogurt was used to add liquid to loosen and to make creamy. Want to leave out for a vegan white bean dip? You totally can! Just add a little veg stock or water instead. Alternatively, use a vegan yogurt.
Blend in some baby spinach or baby arugula instead of parsley
Like things more garlicky or spicy? Add a little more!
