White Bean Dip with Dill Oil and Middle Eastern Style Everything Bagel Seasoning
Welcome back to another mouthwatering culinary adventure! Today, we embark on a delightful journey of flavors and textures with an irresistible twist on a classic dip. Get ready to dive into the velvety goodness of White Bean Dip, elevated with a drizzle of aromatic Dill Oil and crowned with my very own Middle Eastern Style Everything Bagel Seasoning. This vibrant, simple and versatile dip will undoubtedly leave you craving for more.
The Star Ingredient: White Beans
Let’s start with the star ingredient of our dip—the humble white bean. White beans are a number of different legumes with white casings, such as e.g. Canellini beans, Lima beans/Butter beans or Baby Lima beans. These cream-colored legumes are packed with fiber, protein, and essential minerals, making them a nutritious addition to any diet. With a delicate, buttery flavor, white beans serve as the perfect canvas for a variety of dishes.
The Art of Bean Transformation
Our journey to dip perfection begins by transforming those beans into a luscious, velvety base. The tender beans are blended with a harmonious medley of ingredients. Creamy tahini adds richness and a hint of nuttiness, while fresh lemon juice lends a bright and tangy note. A touch of garlic adds both depth and a kick.
Savouring the Flavours
As you plunge a crisp chip or a warm pita into this creamy dip, all the flavors unfold. The velvety texture of the white beans is complemented by the slight tanginess of the tahini and lemon juice. The garlic, present but not overpowering, adds a subtle zing, while the beans themselves provide a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth experience.
Elevating with Dill Oil
Now, let’s take this dip to new heights with a drizzle of vibrant Dill Oil. Fresh dill, infused into olive oil, creates an aromatic topper that adds a refreshing herbal note to the creamy canvas. The dill’s grassy and slightly sweet flavor harmonizes beautifully with the white bean dip, creating a delightful contrast.
The Final Touch: Middle Eastern Style Everything Bagel Seasoning
To truly make this dip “extra”, we sprinkle it with my Middle Eastern style Everything Bagel Seasoning. This unique blend of sesame seeds, Nigella seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, sumac, Aleppo chili and salt delivers a burst of flavor and a satisfying crunch. The combination of these ingredients creates a symphony of textures that takes this dip from ordinary to extraordinary.

With its velvety texture, vibrant flavors, and captivating textures, this dip is an absolute crowd-pleaser.
