White Bean Garlic Dip
White Bean Garlic Dip – a delicious dip is full of fiber and tastes great with chips or crunchy vegetables.
Before I share this recipe with you, I have to tell you something. I like garlic. A lot. I mean, it takes a lot of restraint for me to create recipes for you that have a “normal and reasonable” amount of garlic in them. If I had things my way, every recipe would have at least 9 cloves of garlic in it – except maybe Wonderful Waffles.
At the very least, garlic would replace the lost tomatoes in my Tomato-Free Guacamole. Potato Corn Chowder would be zippy food instead of comfort food. And Cream of Leek and Kale Soup would become Cream of Leek and Kale and Garlic soup.
But alas, I’m forced to stay within the confines of “normal”.
So when I tested this White Bean Garlic Dip out on my kids and they told me, “It’s good, but it has a lot of garlic in it”, imagine my glee when I could say, “It’s supposed to be garlicky!” Ha.
I hope you enjoy.
Note: I tagged this recipe as “freezer friendly“, but it’s best if you leave out the parsley and red onion if you’re going to freeze it. You can stir them in after the dip thaws.

I have a confession too – I love garlic too! I am quite lucky to have found a man who loves garlic (heck GARLIC Chicken is one of our entree choices for the wedding) – love this & plan to make it (like tomorrow)

I found your recipe on Pinterest and made it for my husband. I cut the parsley in half because we aren’t big fans of it, but the recipe is delicious. It turned out great! Thanks!
You’re welcome Megan. It’s one of our favorites! Thank you for your comment.
