Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 large ripe avocado ensure it is soft to the touch
  • 1 cup cooked white beans canned or home-cooked until tender
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed for best flavor
  • 1 clove garlic peeled and minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil adds creaminess and flavor
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper adjust to taste

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a food processor, combine the ripe avocado, cooked white beans, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure an even consistency.
  2. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water or additional olive oil, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired creamy texture is reached.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, blending again to mix.

Notes

Texture Tips: For an even softer texture, ensure that the avocado is very ripe and the white beans are thoroughly cooked until tender. If a smoother consistency is preferred, you can blend the dip longer or add a small amount of vegetable broth to achieve the desired creaminess.
This dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To keep the dip from browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface before sealing the container. It should be soft and creamy, with no lumps remaining.
