Tips for Making the Best White Bean Dip

Blend to your preferred consistency. Pulse a few times for a chunkier dip or blend longer for a smoother texture.

Adjust the liquid gradually. Start with the ¼ cup of chicken broth and add a little more only if needed.

Taste before serving. Beans have a mild flavor, so salt and pepper help bring out the garlic and cilantro.

Make it ahead. You can prepare the dip in advance and refrigerate it until you're ready to serve.

How to Store Cilantro Bean Dip

Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For the best quality, enjoy it within 3 to 4 days. Stir before serving, and add a small splash of broth or olive oil if it has thickened.
