White Bean and Garlic Scapes Dip

Ingredients

• 1 (15.5 oz) can Cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
• 1/3 cup sliced garlic scapes (from about 3-4 scapes)
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
• additional lemon juice, salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste (optional)
• additional sliced garlic scapes for serving (optional)

Instructions

• Add white beans, garlic scapes, lemon juice, salt and pepper to the bowl of a food processor. Process to combine.
• With motor running, slowly add in olive oil. Continue to process until combined and mixture has the texture of a rough puree (similar to hummus).
• Season with additional lemon juice, salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, blending to combine.
• Spoon dip into a serving bowl or plate, top with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and additional sliced garlic scapes, if desired.

Notes

• This dip is wonderful served with toasted flatbread triangles and assorted crudité.
• The garlic flavor really comes through in this dip, if you prefer a less strong garlic flavor, start with 1 garlic scape, taste and then add more if desired.
