Lemon Coriander White Bean Dip

Ok I have a dip secret, and it pertains to this Lemon Coriander White Bean Dip, I promise. But my big dip secret is while I do whip them out at parties, I usually make a batch just for myself (lol) to eat throughout the week. Is this loner behavior? Maybe. Do I absolutely love that I get to have a delicious and plant-based dip to myself all throughout the week? Yes.

But this shameful dip secret aside, this Lemon Coriander Dip will fit into your life in either scenario, whether you need a quick but impressive party dip that fits all dietary restrictions, or if you just want a healthy, protein-packed dip to slip into you snacks, lunches and girl dinners throughout the week. This dip has got your back.

Also did I mention it’s incredibly simple, super flavorful and packed with nutrition? That, too. A white bean dip that truly has it all.

Ingredients you will need for the Lemon Coriander White Bean Dip

When the ingredients are minimal, I always make sure the flavor return is still BIG. Here’s everything you need for this white bean dip:

• 1 14-ounce can of white beans, any variety, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 of a preserved lemon
• 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, ground up with a mortar and pestle
• 1/2 teaspoon sumac
• 3 medium garlic cloves
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 lemon, for juicing
• Diamond Crystal kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper

What to do if you don’t have a food processor to make this dip

Since this dip uses a decent amount of oil, I’ve found some people have luck making it in a blender. It just takes a bit more patience, and a LOT of scraping down the sides of the blender. But soon, it should give you a nice, creamy dip!

How to store this white bean dip

Storing this dip is super simple. Just pop it into an airtight container and put it in the fridge. It will keep for up to 7 days, just make sure to store it separately from the herb oil suggested in the recipe.

Unfortunately this dip does not freeze well, but it’s a small portion, so you should go through it in no time!

Serving suggestions for this lemon coriander dip

Now there are tons of ways to serve this dip, but personally, I love to pair it with a smattering of other snackable things – mostly crunchy stuff – to counter the dip’s creaminess. Here are a few things I love to pair this dip with:

• Spicy radishes
• Thin, crisp crackers like pita chips, seed crackers, or anything else hearty
• Sugar snap peas
• Sliced carrots
• Salt & vinegar potato chips (it’s really delicious, trust me)
• Cucumber
• Really any crispy veggie!

And when I plate this dip, I typically like to swirl it in the center of the plate and pile the accoutrements around it! This makes it for easy dipping, and so that people can select whatever calls to them.

If you are thinking about making this dip a personal meal, I also like to serve it with some vegetables and a few proteins to the side. Think: a soft-boiled egg or a really nice tinned fish. Then you have a full meal ready to go!
