Chickpeas don’t always have to be the base of your favourite dips or hummus! Butter beans, are an excellent source of dietary fibre, protein, B vitamins and loads of minerals. They can help reduce blood sugar, improve cholesterol levels and help maintain a healthy gut. Plus! They blend really well and create the creamiest texture for any dip base.

Instructions

Rinse butter beans in water. (Reserve a few for topping the dip!)

Place all of the ingredients into a food processor, except for the parsley. Blend until fully combined. Make sure to stop and scrap down the sides as you process so all of the ingredients are being fully mixed. Mid way, if you would like the dip to be a little thinner, slowly add 1 tbsp of water at a time until desired consistency.

Once the dip is mixed and ready, plate and top with a drizzle of olive oil, a few butter beans, chopped fresh parsley and a sprinkle of cumin, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. For extra spice, sprinkle with chili flakes.
