White Bean Dip Ingredients
Only a few pantry ingredients are needed for this beautiful vegan and gluten free white bean dip.
- 2 cans of northern beans
- 1 packet of French Onion Dip mix
- 2 yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- olive oil
You'll also need a food processor or high speed blender to bring this hummus-like dip together in a snap.
How To Caramelize Onions
The most important part of this dip is the gorgeous caramelized onions. If you've never done this before, it is SO easy and only takes a few extra minutes to create some intense flavor.
- Heat olive oil in a heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat
- Add thinly sliced onions and a pinch of salt and sugar.
- Let them sit for about 3 minutes then give them a good stir around.
- Continue to watch and stir for 15-20 minutes until dark and golden brown.
- I like to add a splash of balsamic vinegar towards the end to intensify the flavor.
Doing this slower over medium heat will ensure a great caramelized flavor without the risk of burning the onions.
French Onion Dip Mix
I simply used a store bought French Onion Dip mix. You could make your own using this recipe but I find that the simplicity of the packet is worth it!
French Onion Dip flavors typically include:
- onion
- garlic
- parsley
- salt and pepper
So really simple flavors but they go a long way in flavoring this French Onion White Bean Dip!
What To Serve With White Bean Dip
You could serve lots of different things along side this bean dip. I chose salted pita chips!
But you could also use veggies, corn chips, or even plantain chips.
This makes a great side dish to bring to a cookout or potluck because the onion and garlic flavors pair easily with many different main dishes.
I would serve this along side my Stuffed Courgettes! But it would also go really well with a simple Seared Flank Steak.
