In the kitchen with Kelley: White bean dip
Dip makes me happy, and I think it’s because of all the good memories I have that are associated with dip: eating chips and salsa at Mexican restaurants with friends, family and colleagues over the years; indulging in rich and delicious dips at various social gatherings; dunking chicken wings in dip while watching football.
It’s almost as if the very act of dunking food into dip soothes my soul. Luckily, there are lots of healthy dip options. Salsa is one. Hummus is another. And bean dip is yet another.
The Cannellini bean’s low glycemic score is responsible for many of its health benefits. These tasty beans metabolize slowly, and provide steady energy for hours that helps stave off cravings for sugary foods. Enjoy!
