Lately I’ve been falling in love with all things canellini beans. I typically only use black beans, but these are so easy to work with and can seamlessly be thrown into countless dishes. They have a mild flavor, are accessible, affordable and packed with plant protein and fiber. Bonus, they make a great based for a dip!! Something I’m also always obsessed with, is roasted garlic! You can throw it in the oven, and the roasting factor intensifies the flavor so much more. It’s fairly quick, garlic is accessible, affordable, and it instantly turns an everyday dish into an amazing one.

Hi,
This looks tasty. Why rinse the beans? Doesn’t the aquafaba left after draining make the dip creamier?
You don’t have to rinse the beans if not preferred. It may alter the overall flavor where you taste more of the beans than the other components.
Just made this after eyeing it for months! Turned out great! Added some crushed red pepper but kept everything else the same. This will be added to my go to apps!
Too funny! I’m making a video tutorial today for this recipe!
What are you supposed to do with the lemon zest? Garnish?
I used the lemon zest as a garnish, but you can absolutely blend it in if preferred.
