Chef's Tips
For a smoother dip, remove the skins from the cannellini beans after rinsing.
If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs. Use about 1 teaspoon of dried parsley and 1/2 teaspoon of dried mint.
The dip can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Pair with baked feta for a complete mediterranean experience.
