Serving Size: 8

Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) pine nuts, toasted
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) fresh basil, minced
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) fresh oregano, minced
• 1 Cup cooked Great Northern beans
• 2 Whole garlic cloves, divided
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) lime juice
• 1 Whole roma (plum) tomato
• 1 Pinch sea salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch black pepper, to taste
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) olive oil, extra virgin

Steps

1. Begin by toasting the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are golden brown and fragrant. This should take about 3-4 minutes. Set aside to cool.
2. In a food processor, combine the toasted pine nuts, fresh basil, and oregano. Pulse 2-3 times until the nuts are finely ground.
3. Add the cooked Great Northern beans and divided garlic cloves to the processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
4. Pour in the lime juice and add the roma tomato. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Pulse 2-3 times until the mixture is smooth and spreadable.
5. With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil. If the dip becomes too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.
6. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
7. Serve chilled with your choice of crackers, bread, or vegetable sticks. Enjoy the herb-infused flavors and the delightful crunch of pine nuts in every bite.
