Ingredients

  • x 15-ounce cans cannellini beans (white kidney beans)
    rinsed, drained
    2 unit
  • purchased pesto
    Β½ cup
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons

Method

1
Rinse and drain both cans of cannellini beans thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch and canning liquid.
2
Combine the drained beans, pesto, and 2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice in a food processor.
3
Pulse the mixture until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency, scraping down the sides as needed, about 1-2 minutes.
4
Taste the dip and add the remaining 1 teaspoon of lemon juice if a brighter, more acidic flavor is desired.
5
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve immediately with crackers, vegetables, or bread.
