Cannellini Bean Dip with Black Olives

 
I’ve been trying to eat healthier while still satisfying my snacky cravings, so I decided to do away with the ranch dip that I generally use with crackers and crudités, and replace it with this creamy and nutritious cannellini bean dip. It is so super simple to throw together that I find myself making it every week. The recipe can be doubled, if like me, you find yourself craving it.Cannellini Bean Dip with Black Olives

 1 large clove garlic

1 15.5-oz. can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained

¼ c. extra-virgin olive oil

Juice of half a lemon

10 small pitted black olives

½ t. kosher salt

¼ t. freshly ground black pepper

 Throw all ingredients into a mini food processor and process until smooth. Cover and refrigerate to allow flavors to meld for a minimum of 4 hours.

This does sound like a healthy dip. I have company for dinner this week and I'm going to give it a try. I'm assuming regular black olives, not Kalamata?

Judee I just used regular black olives, but I don’t see why Kalamata olives wouldn’t work as well.

Do you think I can make it Thursday morning to serve it Friday night?

Easily, Judee. I keep it in the fridge for 3-4 days unless I eat it beforehand. I added freshly chopped rosemary to my current batch and it is delish.
