Ingredients

Olive oil

1 tsp(s), extra-virgin

Canned cannellini beans

15½ oz, drained and rinsed

Fresh lemon juice

1½ tbsp(s)

Water

1½ tbsp(s)

Smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. To prepare dip, heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat and sauté garlic, stirring constantly, until garlic just begins to turn golden, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. In a food processor, combine garlic-olive oil mixture, beans and lemon juice. Process until smooth, slowly adding 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to obtain a thick yet creamy consistency. Season to taste.
  3. Transfer dip to a bowl and garnish with paprika or chopped parsley, if desired. Place dip on serving platter and arrange pepper, tomatoes, cucumber, and carrots around it.
