Ingredients:

  • 1 (15-ounce/425g) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 4 ounces (115g) feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Add the drained and rinsed cannellini beans, crumbled feta cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, mint, parsley, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the food processor.
  2. Process until the mixture is very smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. The consistency should be similar to hummus. Add a tablespoon of water at a time if needed to reach desired smoothness.
  3. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  4. For best flavour, cover and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavours to meld.
  5. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Drizzle with extra olive oil and garnish with a sprig of mint or parsley and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Serve immediately or chilled. Dips like this are perfect for sharing.
