This one is for all my fellow snack fiends out there! If you’re anything like me, I always am sure to include a dip on my recipe list for every camping trip. It’s the best savoury snack that I don’t feel one bit guilty about! Unlike the store-bought dips, making your own is completely preservative-free.

This delicious white bean dip is a great addition to any party menu. Anyone can throw this dip together as an easy appetizer. It is quick and requires very few ingredients to make – and your guests are sure to love the subtle balance of flavors packed into each bite. It is perfect with mildly seasoned pita chips or vegetable crudités. It’s made for sharing as a welcome happy hour addition or for a mid to late-night snack while gathered around playing cards.

If you’re strapped for time or space, you can also make the dip ahead of time, store it in some Tupperware, and pack it away in your cooler. Simply heat up the pita chips when you’re ready to dig in.

Tip: A little bit of fresh sage goes a long way. If you aren’t sure how much to use, start with a small amount. Then taste and add more, if desired.

Although you can use the same extra virgin olive oil for the entire recipe, adding a drizzle of a higher quality variety right before serving will add an extra “pop” of flavor.
