Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/3 cup olive oil, plus 4 tablespoons
- 1/4 cup (loosely packed) fresh Italian parsley leaves
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 6 pitas
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the beans, garlic, lemon juice, 1/3 cup olive oil, and parsley in the work bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely chopped. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer the bean puree to a small bowl.

Reviews
So easy and so good. Watch the garlic, as it could take over. The recipe calls for two cloves. I think I’d cut it back to one if the cloves are big.
This was a big hit at the get together. I took the advice of others and left the parsley to the end and just used as garnish. Mine was a little too salty so I added a little more lemon juice and some sour cream. It was perfect!!
Great dip! I also did not add the parsley to the food processor.
Easy to prepare, delicious, and the pita chips go beautifully with it. In my appetizer rotation for sure.
Delicious & addictive
Oh my heavens. Where has this been all my life. So much easier than humus and tastes better too!
Have made this several times for my family and it seems its so good, I think they would rather have this dip for dinner than what I cooked
Easy and so delicious! Will be making regularly!!
Excellent! Love the combo of white beans, garlic and lemon! Followed other reviewers advice and did not add parsley into food processor so as not to turn dip green. Added the chopped fresh parsley on the top before serving. Delicious!
5 stars! Holds over well. Loved by all.
