Three Vegan, Soy Free White Bean Dip Recipes: Plain, Kalamata Olive, and Spinach (with SCD option)

Last month I made Maggie's omega 3 white bean dip and loved it (I ate the entire batch actually).  So I decided to make a few of my own white bean recipes.  These dips are full of flavor and super creamy - my favorite combo.  If you're a dip lover like me, then please give these recipes a try.  For SCD, omit coconut aminos.  See notes.

Dip #1 

Classic Style 

Ingredients:

-1 1/2 cups prepared white beans*

-1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice

-3 tablespoons oil (I use grapeseed) 

-2 tablespoons tahini (optional, but worth it)

-1 teaspoon garlic granules (or 1/2 clove garlic)

-3 tablespoons coconut aminos 

How To:

1.  Add beans, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, and coconut aminos to food processor (or blender of choice). Salt is optional here. 

2.  Blend until incorporated.

3.  Drizzle in oil while blending 

4.  Store in glass container in fridge. 

Notes:

*I soak white beans for 48 hours, rinsing 2-3 times.  You certainly don't need to soak this long, but I think it's worth it.  After the beans are properly soaked, boil in filtered water until tender. 

*For SCD, omit coconut aminos and add 1/2 - 1 teaspoon salt.

Dip #2 

Karazy Kalamata 

Ingredients:

-1 1/2 cups prepared white beans*

-3 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice

-3 or 4 tablespoons oil (I use grapeseed) 

-2 tablespoons tahini (optional, but worth it)

-1/2 teaspoon garlic granules (or 1/2 clove garlic)

-3 tablespoons coconut aminos 

-1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives 

How To:

1.  Add beans, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, aminos, and olives to food processor (or blender of choice).

2.  Blend until incorporated.

3.  Drizzle in oil while blending 

Notes:

*I soak white beans for 48 hours, rinsing 2-3 times.  You certainly don't need to soak this long, but I think it's worth it.  After the beans are properly soaked, boil in filtered water until tender. 

*For SCD, omit coconut aminos and add 1/2 - 1 teaspoon salt.

-1/2 to 1 cup fresh spinach (I like one cup in there)

How To:

1.  Add beans, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, aminos, and spinach to food processor (or blender of choice).

2.  Blend until incorporated.

3.  Drizzle in oil while blending

I made Danielle's Savory and Sweet Crackers (SCD) with this dip and they were delicious!! Don't mind if I do.
