Frantastic White Bean Hummus and Crudité

Fran Drescher 

This is a healthy high protein snack that is easy to make and is great for company or just to keep in the fridge. It’s versatile and can be used as a dip, or on salads and sandwiches.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup organic dried white beans cooked according to package instructions
  • ¼ cup Cold Pressed Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Juice of one whole small lemon (or 1/2 large lemon)
  • Salt & Pepper to taste (pinch of each to start)

Method

  1. In a food processor or blender, add the cooked, drained beans, lemon, salt, pepper, and olive oil.  
  2. Blend until the consistency is smooth and thick.
  3. Taste and adjust ingredients to your liking. (If you like it thinner add more liquid!)
  4. Serve in a bowl surrounded with organic raw veggies. My personal preferences are zucchini, cucumber, celery, carrots, and jicama.
