White Bean Hummus
This White Bean Hummus is similar to Chickpea Hummus – but not quite. Cannellini Beans have a milder and creamier consistency.
Dress the Hummus with anything you like or have on hand. We love Slow Roasted Tomatoes, avocado, cucumber, parsley, red onion, and orange peppers. Feta Cheese and olives are a perfect addition as well.
White Bean (Cannellini) Hummus
We have served this Hummus with Socca and tortilla chips, both equally as good. It would make a great sauce for wraps as well.And another great side are falafels – whether you make your own or stop into your favourite Shawarma place, like we do.
