Ingredients for Curried White Bean Dip
- White beans: Canned beans work perfectly but if you prefer to cook them from scratch that works too. You will need about 1 ½ cups of cooked beans. Use any white bean such as northern beans, cannellini beans, or lima beans.
- Lemon juice: Freshly squeezed lemon is the best option.
- Olive oil: A high-quality extra virgin olive oil with its bright, fruity flavor works really well in this recipe.
- Water: To help thin out the dip a bit.
- Garlic: Fresh garlic is the best flavor option in this simple preparation.
- Curry powder: The warming flavors of curry powder adds so much to the overall taste of this dip and give it a slightly yellow color which looks lovely on vegetable trays and platters.
- Sea salt: Just a touch to bring all the flavors together.

The recipe is good. I ended up doing a variation to compensate for my garlic, which was way too strong! I added a chopped up orange bell pepper and 1 more tbsp of lemon juice, pureeing those in as well. I also added a touch of cayenne and cumin. Those extra flavours brought it to a really nice balance for me.
Love that so much! I bet it was extra delicious. Thanks for sharing your adaptations 🙂
