Who loves snacks? I'm totally in love with this whipped avocado white bean dip.
Let's make whipped avocado white bean dip
Here I am, raising my hand. Like a nerd in front of my computer screen as I write this. Raising my hand that I love snacks and I love this Whipped Avocado White Bean Dip.
Yep, nerd.
But, in my defense, it is avocado. It's exciting all on it's own (and I put it in and on almost everything I eat) but when combined with garbanzo beans, a handful of garden herbs, fresh lemon juice, garlic, olive oil and the perfect amount of seasoning, that avocado is elevated af.
The food processor whips it until fluffy and light (like air, but tasty!) and you (I) literally can't stop dipping.
The best thing you can make with avocado and chickpeas!
I like it with a smattering of crushed red pepper flakes for that lil bit of heat.
And my vehicle of choice: bagel chips, whole grain crackers, soft pita or a handful of crisp, fresh veggies. Or all of the above.
I'm not even ashamed to say I eat this with a spoon (no vehicle necessary). I can actually say this dip is refreshing, and that's not a typical reaction when eating dip.
Must be because it's not loaded with cream cheese and melty, gooey cheese. Not to say I'd turn that down, because I absolutely wouldn't.
But I think you'll like it! Take 10 minutes to whip it up, and you won't even need to cook dinner.
How can you not raise your hand?
