This dip is very similar to hummus but with a milder flavor, and is brightened by the lemon juice. For bolder flavor, substitute black beans and add a little cayenne.
Ingredients

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, chopped finely
• 1- 15.5 oz can white beans or great northern beans, drained
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons water
• Juice of 1 small lemon

Instructions

1. Place 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and the garlic in a skillet. Cook over medium heat. As soon as the garlic is fragrant, add the beans and salt. Heat through.
2. Puree in a blender with the water, to make a smooth paste. Place in a serving bowl and pour the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top.
