White Bean Hummus Dip (Gluten-free)

Bored of the regular usual hummus dip recipes? Try this one, which uses white beans (great northern beans, cannellini beans, or navy beans) for a variation on the standard chickpea (garbanzo bean) hummus recipes. This is a simple white bean dip recipe made with the usual homemade hummus ingredients, including olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice, and seasoned with a bit of cumin and fresh parsley, but made with white beans instead of chickpeas for a completely different flavor profile and texture. If you don't have any white pepper on hand, just omit it or use a sprinkle of regular black pepper instead.

Is it hummus or just a bean dip? Without any tahini, it might not technically still be a hummus but just a plain bean dip. But whatever you want to call it, it's high in protein, high in fiber, and can be used for anything you use hummus or bean dip for. Try it as a vegetarian sandwich spread in place of a less-healthy mayonnaise (hummus works particularly well in wrap sandwiches since it holds together well and doesn't drip), or, use it like hummus as a dip for pita, toast points, or veggies.

Like almost all homemade hummus recipes, this white bean hummus dip is completely vegetarian, vegan, and safe for anyone on a gluten-free diet.
