    White Bean Dried Tomato Dip Recipe

    Jump to Recipe
    quick white bean dried tomato dip
    easy dried tomato white bean dip

    A super easy white bean dried tomato dip recipe that's so good no one will realize how healthy it is! Full of garlic and tomato flavored oil, this wonderfully flavored dip is a great option for parties and BBQs.

    If you love this, be sure to check out other Quick Healthy Recipes.

    white bean dried tomato dip

    This recipe for white bean dried tomato dip was a pleasant surprise when I created it. It was a case of use what you have and you may come up with something really good.

    Our menu had called for hummus which I'm usually able to make because my recipe calls for sesame seeds instead of tahini. However, I realized that I had already used my frozen garbanzo beans - and you really can't make hummus without garbanzos.

    Even me, the queen of substitutions, draws the line there.

    I did have a ton of white beans and we like a good white bean dip, so I thought I'd just make a white bean version of hummus. Then I found I didn't have lemon juice and realized I'd have to admit defeat and come up with a totally different dip.

    It happens to the best of us sometimes.

    As I spied a jar of my oil-packed dried tomatoes I had a "light-bulb moment" at the thought of mixing them with the white beans. And some garlic.

    You know how everyone says everything is better with bacon? Well, I pretty much think everything is better with garlic.

    Except sweets.

    But I feel that way with bacon, too, so my comparison still works. (I just can't do the dessert-bacon thing that is all the rage. I.just.can't.)

    Anyway...after adding garlic, salt and pepper to the white beans and tomatoes, the resulting dip was out-of-this-world. Or as my daughter said, "Ahhhhmaaazing!"

    • 3 tablespoons olive oil from tomatoes (regular oil if using rehydrated tomatoes)
