White Bean Hummus Recipe
This incredible white bean hummus recipe can be made in under 10 minutes, but tastes like it took so much longer to make. The white beans give this dip a very smooth and lovely texture that tastes amazing. I love it served with colorful carrots, pita, chunks of cucumber and celery. You can’t go wrong either way!
