White Bean and Avocado Dip

White Bean and Avocado Dip

Goodbye to our British friend!

Charlotte, 17 days old, came to party!

I recently made this dip for a summer party. I wanted to make sure that the appetizer was able to sit out without refrigerator, and still be enjoyable throughout the day.  Not only did it work great there, but when I served it again the next day, it was a big hit.  It's light, refreshing, and healthy.  

Ingredients: (It's easy to 1/2 or I doubled this recipe.)

2 cans white beans, rinsed
1 ripe avocado 
1 jalapeno, seeded
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
2-4 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, plus extra to garnish
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt

Directions: 

Add all ingredients besides olive oil into the food processor.  Add oil as it streams through. (Add a little water if still too thick.)

Garnish with fresh cilantro. 

Serve with sliced cucumbers, pita chips, etc.
