Hi friends!

I don’t know about you, but I legit make bean dips every other week, if not every week. No joke.

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 pretty inexpensive. I bought a can of beans for less than a buck and I always have the other ingredients on hand.

Ingredients Needed

This Mediterranean dip is a different twist on the black bean dip I made a little while back. Basically, the base is:

Canned navy beans
Greek yogurt
Lemon juice
Garlic
Olive oil
Seasonings

How To Make White Bean Dip

Place the dip ingredients into a food processor.

Process until everything is combined and creamy.

Transfer the white bean dip to serving dish and garnish if you like. Full details are in the recipe card below.

How to Garnish This Bean Dip

Once the base is done, you can garnish to your heart’s content! There is no right or wrong way here. Use what you have on hand! And, if you want to enjoy the dip as is (without any garnish), that is perfectly fine.

Keeping with the Mediterranean or Greek dip theme I used those type of ingredients. Some that I really enjoy:

Chopped grape tomatoes
Diced cucumber
Sliced black olives
Crumbled feta
Chopped sun-dried tomatoes
Diced bell pepper
Chopped marinated artichoke hearts (or a fire roasted version)
Chopped fresh parsley
Crushed red pepper flakes or minced fresh chili pepper
Drizzle of olive oil

What To Serve With This Dip

It makes for such a pretty presentation to serve this white bean dip with veggie sticks, like:

Red or green bell pepper, sliced
Sliced cucumber
Celery sticks
Carrot sticks

However, you can never go wrong with crackers or chips!

Tips and Variations

Like things more garlicky or spicy? Add a little more!
I used canned white navy beans, but you could totally use canned white kidney beans (also known as cannellini beans).
Blend in some baby spinach or baby arugula instead of parsley for a slightly different flavour.
