Parsley and White Bean Dip



I really like dips. Not only do they serve well as easy, pleasing party snacks, but they are also very comforting snacks for "me time." You know what I'm talking about. Those times when you want to sit on the couch and indulge in an episode (or a few) of your favorite TV show while munching on your favorite snacks. The good news though is that if you choose to munch on this dip with some crunchy veggies or pita chips, you won't feel guilty when it's finally time to get up off the couch and conquer the world!

Parsley and White Bean Dip
Makes about 2 cups

2 Cloves Garlic
1 bunch Fresh Parsley (about 1 cup packed)
1 can White Beans, with liquid
Juice of 1/2 Lemon
Salt and Pepper

In a blender, combine all ingredients. Pulse until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. For a thicker consistency, refrigerate for about 1 hour before serving. The flavors get better with time, so don’t be afraid to make this dip in advance.

Serve with vegetable sticks, bread, pita chips.
