White Bean Hummus Dip (Gluten-free)

Gather the ingredients.

In a small saucepan, combine the olive oil and garlic over medium to low heat until the garlic is very lightly browned, being careful not to burn. Let cool slightly and strain, reserving both the oil and the garlic.

Place the white beans in a food processor or blender, and add the garlic, lemon juice, cumin, and parsley. Process until smooth. Carefully pour in the reserved olive oil while the food processor or blender is running and process until light and smooth.

Season your white bean hummus with salt (sea salt or kosher salt is almost always best), white pepper, and a touch of cayenne pepper or paprika for a colorful garnish.

Serve cool with pita bread, bagel chips, tortilla chips, or an array of freshly chopped vegetables—baby carrots or carrot sticks, celery sticks, bell pepper slices, sliced mushrooms, or jicama slices.
