Method
 

Preparation Steps:
  1. Gather all your ingredients. Drain and rinse the small white beans or cannellini beans under cold water and set them aside. Measure out the baby spinach, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and olive oil.
  2. In a food processor, combine the drained beans, packed baby spinach, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and olive oil. This combination will form the base of your dip.
  3. Secure the lid on the food processor and pulse the mixture until it’s smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides with a spatula as needed. If too thick, add a small amount of reserved bean liquid.
  4. Taste the dip and add salt and pepper to your preference. Blend again briefly to incorporate the seasoning.
  5. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. If desired, sprinkle additional grated Parmesan cheese on top. Serve with crackers, chips, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
