Reader ratings

A silky, protein-rich dip that comes together in the blender — lighter than hummus, just as versatile.

White beans bring fiber and plant protein, while tahini and olive oil add calcium and heart-healthy fats.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Drain and rinse the beans.
  2. Add everything except the olive oil to a food processor and blend.
  3. With the motor running, stream in the olive oil until silky, adding a tbsp of water if needed.
  4. Taste and adjust lemon and salt. Serve drizzled with a little more olive oil and vegetables or whole-grain crackers.

Tips

  • Warming the beans slightly before blending gives an even creamier texture.
