If you love hummus like my Edamame Hummus or Vegan Avocado Hummus and like to make Vegan Hummus Wrap, this recipe is for you as it’s like a white hummus. My Vegan White Bean Dip is healthy, easy to make, and a filling spread to add to wraps, sandwiches, or as a side to roasted vegetables. There are endless ways to serve this hummus, and white beans are a game changer. While regular hummus made from chickpeas is amazing, white beans make the dip much creamier and thicker with a smooth consistency, and it’s easier to put together. Canned chickpeas can leave a gritty texture in hummus recipes unless you take the extra time to peel off each bean from its outer shell. But white beans don’t have this little piece of skin. They blend and turn creamy instantly. So now, let’s see how to make this tasty dip appetizer.

Vegan White Bean Dip Ingredients

All you need to make this recipe are:

Canned White Beans – There are many types of white beans, including canned navy beans, butter beans, or cannellini beans. You can use any of these varieties for this recipe. Drain the can, rinse it, and use it for the recipe. Extra Virgin Olive Oil or avocado oil. Tahini – Unhulled tahini is a bit bitter so I used hulled tahini. Lemon Juice – From fresh lemon or from a bottle. Garlic Cloves – or garlic powder. Sea Salt and Pepper – to taste. Iced Water – I barely add water in white bean dip because it turns out perfectly creamy without any addition.

Choosing The White Beans

There are many types of canned white beans available in your store. They all have different in texture and flavors. While they all work for this recipe and they blend well, the result in flavors and texture will be different, so choose wisely. Here are my tips for picking up white beans for dip recipes.

Butter Beans – Low in flavor, ultra-soft, and give the best creamy texture to hummus. Cannellini Beans – Nutty flavors, firmer, but still add a lovely creamy texture. Navy Beans – They are smaller than cannellini beans and add an acidic flavor to raw recipes. I won’t recommend using this variety for hummus. They are better for soup or cooked dishes.
