Instructions
To begin crafting your Kale White Bean Hummus Dip, start by placing the cooked white beans and kale into a blender. Pulse them briefly to combine, ensuring that the kale is well integrated with the beans. Next, add the Greek yogurt (or tahini for a nutty flavor), cumin powder, your choice of garlic (fresh or powdered), salt to taste, and the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the blender. Blend the mixture until it reaches a luxuriously creamy consistency; if the mixture seems too thick, don’t hesitate to add a bit more tahini or Greek yogurt to help it along.
Once your dip is beautifully blended, transfer it to a serving bowl and refrigerate for a short while to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to chill. Serve this delicious Kale White Bean Hummus Dip with baked pita chips or fresh veggies for a crunchy contrast. Alternatively, use it as a delightful spread for sandwiches and wraps, bringing a touch of Mediterranean flair to your meals.
For optimal freshness, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will stay fresh for 2 to 3 days. Keep in mind that due to the inclusion of fresh veggies, this dip won’t have the same shelf life as traditional hummus.
This Kale White Bean Hummus Dip pairs wonderfully with pita bread and can be served alongside Baba Ganoush as a standout appetizer for your house parties, ensuring your guests are treated to a delightful and healthy snacking experience.
Enjoy this nutritious and delicious dip that is sure to become a staple in your culinary repertoire!
