• 1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added cannellini beans,
drained and rinsed
• 1 (3-ounce) package low-fat cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons minced rehydrated sun-dried
tomatoes (not packed in oil)
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon salt-free Garlic & Herb seasoning
• 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• Pinch of red pepper flakes
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons minced scallion (white part only)
1. Combine all the ingredients, except for the scallions, in a food
processor or blender and blend until smooth. Add some water
if necessary to produce a smooth but thick dip. Taste and
correct the seasoning, adding additional lemon juice if desired.
2. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and fold in the scallions. Cover
and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours prior to serving.
Serve with pita-bread wedges or crudités.
