White Bean Dip that’s really Green Bean Dip

Posted Mar 16 2011 10:06pm

Hellllloooo Bagels! That’s what I shouted when I opened up a package of Bagel Thins that arrived today.  I immediately knew what my afternoon snack was all about.

I spotted the new Cinnamon Raisin Bagel Thins at the store already, but resisted getting them because they’re not whole wheat. Well, I am over that ish because they are super tasty!

The other half is missing in picture because I downed it way too fast.

A PB&J bagel thin and massive iced coffee made the perfect afternoon pick-me-up. Bagels to lift the spirit, iced coffee to lift everything else Smile

I also chugged a Vitawater and had some blubes at some point today. I deleted the picture because I am dumb.

Now for a fun and healthy St. Patrick’s Day recipe!

I cooked blended up this recipe in my head yesterday when I was brainstorming good green foods to make for St.Patrick’s Day. I love holiday themed foods and have made green eggs & ham for this St. Patty’s in the past.

Today I made White Bean Dip, but Green! I hesitate to call it “Green Bean Dip” since it’s not made of “green beans”, but I kinda love that name more.

Main ingredients: White beans, 10 oz. frozen spinach, 1 Tb. olive oil, ! Tb. minced garlic, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and parmesan cheese to taste

First I blended the beans and spices. You can use a food processor, but I had to use my blender since I can’t find my processor?! Minor speed bump.

I microwaved the spinach and squeezed out the water. After the beans and spices were blended I stirred in about 3/4 of the spinach.

Mix together. Eat.

Sprinkle with a little extra parmesan for good measure white bean dip recipe

(or white bean dip with spinach if you want to get all technical)

This would be great with a crusty hunk of sourdough too. Luckily, I have a big ol’ loaf of Boudin Sourdough Bread because it’s now sold at Costco!

I think dinner with be cheese and spinach ravioli with this bean dip slathered crostini on the side! If I don’t eat it all first… IMG_0270 (1024x683)

Have a good night :)
