Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by draining the organic white beans and reserving about 2 tablespoons of the liquid. Rinse the beans under cold water to remove any excess sodium or residue, then set them aside.
  2. In your blender, combine the prepared beans with a garlic clove, a generous splash of olive oil, and the zest of one lemon. Pulse the mixture on high for about 1-2 minutes until it's silky smooth.
  3. For serving cold, add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and blend again to meld the flavors. If you prefer a warm dip, transfer the mixture to a saucepan over low heat. Gently warm for about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Spoon the creamy White Bean, Sage with Lemony Dip into a beautiful serving dish. Feel free to customize your presentation with toppings.
  5. To elevate your dip further, sprinkle your choice of crispy sage or capers on top. Alternatively, add a dollop of fresh salsa verde for a zesty finish.
  6. Serve your luscious dip with crostini, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
