Easy White Bean And Avocado Dip Recipe
Easy White Bean And Avocado Dip Recipe – super quick to prepare, perfect for a nutritious and delicious snack.
Hey guys!
How was your weekend?
It has been so hot and humid here and not much fun for me. When you’ve gained over 20 pounds, maybe staying indoors is the best decision.
On days like these, I usually don’t feel like cooking and like to make some healthy snacks, like this Easy White Bean And Avocado Dip.
Upgrade your favorite guacamole and make this simple and effortless dip. It is light and creamy with an amazing fresh flavor. Tastes great on its own, with crackers or on a toast.
All you need t make this White Bean And Avocado Dip is just pantry staples like – a can of white beans, avocado, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, yogurt and a blender. I’ve made this many times in the past and I’ve also used dry beans, which I soaked and boiled in advance. But I usually don’t have time to cook beans, that’s why I used canned ones this time. This recipe is perfect for the people, who don’t like chickpeas.
This dip is something in between hummus and guacamole. It has the creamy hummus texture, but the freshness of guacamole.

Serve with crackers, chips of crunchy veggies. This dip is perfect for your next barbecue, because the fresh flavors will be a great addition to any meat, too.

It’s been so hot here, but I can’t imagine what it must feel like to be pregnant in this heat! I don’t blame you for staying indoors and devouring lots of this dip. Looks fantastic, Mira! Love how easy it is to make, too!
We love this dip! We call it avocado hummus and it always goes down well at hummus. I love it with some garlic and rosemary pita breads to dip in it.
I’ve been looking for a nice easy summer dip and I just found it. Lovely recipe.
This dip sounds delicious, Mira! I love the white bean and avocado combo. It looks so light and refreshing. I think I’d stay indoors and devour this also!!
This dip looks incredible, Mira! Speaking of hot weather and gaining weight (although at least YOU have a good reason for it!), doesn’t the heat make you feel even more bloated and heavy? I’m like, maybe we could just stay indoors so I feel a bit less large. Lol. Love the simplicity of this dip and the healthy ingredients! Pinning. 🙂
Thanks Demeter! I agree, staying indoors in a great idea!
Guuurl, it’s hotter than heck here, but I can’t imagine being pregnant and dealing with the heat and humidity! you should totally stay indoors and drink lots of water and eat vats of this fabulous dip! This looks 100 times better than plain guacamole! Love how creamy this is, chicka! Pinned! Cheers, dear! And stay indoors! <3
Love how simple and delicious this dip sounds! Pinning! I know it’s hot plus it must be extra difficult for you with the pregnancy..just stay hydrated..take care Mira!
I can definitely relate with the whole heat and humidity thing, it’s just not fun. But this dip looks like a perfect way to cool off! I love hummus and guacamole, so this sounds like a perfect combination!
The heat was extra horrible for me when I was pregnant, especially with my second because he was born in August! I feel for you, Mira! I love white bean dip, and the addition of avocado takes it completely over the top — love this!
It’s been so hot here lately too and I can just imagine how much harder it must be if you’re pregnant. Glad you are staying indoors, this dip is the perfect easy recipe to keep cool with 🙂
This sounds absolutely delicious, Mira. So fresh and summery. In fact I’d love a big dish of it with some crackers right now!
P.S. Absolutely love your new blog design!
It’s been unbearably hot and humid here, but that’s pretty much to be expected for Charlotte in July. Next month is going to be even worse. I would love to lay around inside with the A/C blowing full blast and noshing on this delicious dip!
I love the creaminess of the avocado and white beans here! Such an awesome combo 🙂 It’s ridiculously hot, isn’t it? Cool dips are what we need.
Simple and effortless? I say YES! But even if it were involved…I’d make it! This sounds wonderful!!
So much protein! I would have never thought to pair beans and avocado together. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, this dip is absolute must try for me. I love dips made with white beans.. proteins yey! 🙂 And do I have to say I LOVE avo <3 Healthy fats… yey! 🙂 Perfect healthy combo!
This dip is so easy to make and delicious!
Excellent (and healthy) alternative dip. You can easily adjust spices to make it as hot or mild as you like. Will definitely keep this recipe on hand for appetizer and would also make a good sandwich spread. Thanks for sharing!
