Mediterranean White Bean Spread

---

Servings 6-8

Ingredients:

• 24 Rosemary Crisps
• 1 can (15 oz.) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 cloves garlic (or to taste)
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• 1 tbsp. fresh rosemary (or 1 tsp. dried)
• 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh Italian parsley
• 1 tbsp. fresh oregano (or 1 tsp. dried)
• Kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper
• Hot sauce (optional)

Directions:
Place the beans, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice in the work bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth, then add the herbs and process again briefly. Taste for seasoning and add salt, pepper and hot sauce as needed. Serve at room temperature.

Tip:
This exquisite dip, rich in Mediterranean flavors, beautifully complements the herbiness of the Rosemary Crisps. Light and healthy, it would make a terrific sandwich spread or a great dip for raw vegetables. Garlic can be quite a strong flavor but is oh-so-good for your immune system. Keep in mind that raw garlic will actually intensify as this dip sits, so better to add too little than too much.
