The weather is warming up and I love making ‘nibbles’ for when friends drop around. You don’t have to make things difficult for yourself – stick to simple things that you can keep in your cupboard/fridge. But you definitely need to try this ‘entertainer’s’ white been dip, as it is so delicious and simple.
Now it uses the simple recipe for white bean puree that I blogged about earlier {here}…and you can have a little extra prepared, but it seriously takes like 5 seconds to make. And then you add in a few fridge ingredients and instant deliciousness!
ENTERTAINER’S WHITE BEAN DIP
1 can of cannellini beans
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 lemon
1 teaspoon of tahini paste
2 tablespoons of sundried tomatoes (plus a little of the oil)*
salt and pepper
Blitz the cannellini beans, oil and lemon juice until smooth. Stir through the tahini paste and then top with the sundried tomatoes and a little of their oil. Season with a little salt and pepper and then serve.
* I like to add a little oil from the sundried tomatoes to add in some extra flavour – as the oil has normally been infused with garlic and some herbs, not to mention the sundried tomato goodness!
What are some of your summer entertaining recipes? Do you have a go-to dip that everyone loves? Are you having a bit of a health kick leading into summer?
