Recipe: Smashed White Bean Dip

Recipe: Smashed White Bean Dip

This veggie and bean dip is great for scooping on sea salt or chili pepper kelp chips. By smashing half of the beans, you create a dip that holds together while also having a great texture from the remaining whole beans and diced veggies. If you're not a huge fan of onions, you can opt for a smaller amount or even eliminate it and replace it with a finely chopped bell pepper.
