Spicy Sriracha White Bean Dip & Signs of Spring!
Homemade spicy sriracha, fresh chilies sauces and pretty much anything with dip recipes has been on our eating repertoire as of late. Since making our last batch of spicy garlic knots, cravings for more heat keeps our stomachs rumbling for daily spice. Just the other day, we were making our latest batch of homemade kim chi and went triple the spicy level! Fingers crossed we don’t regret adding all that heat.
Spring is nearing so plenty of fresh vegetables, fresh citrus and homemade baked goods will fill the studio for photography. Also on our Spring party menu are homemade crackers with parmesan, lots of sugar snap pea recipes, ham and brunch items.
To accompany our Spring parties we love simple, yet fresh and flavorful dip recipes. This fresh white bean dip seems to satisfy any hungry crowd. Since we still have spicy on the mind, it seems to appropriate to add a bit of fresh heat to this earthy and white bean dip.
Easy Spicy Bean Dip Recipe
The wonderful part of this dip is that is truly is so simple and fresh, yet so flavorful with Asian inspired flavors and heat. The creamy texture is always fantastic especially when using white beans. Touches of sesame oil, fresh live, zesty garlic and your choice of chili sauce gives this creamy dip so many layers of flavor.

On the gardening front, we’re finally catching up to some much needed digging and trimming. Over the last few weeks, we’ve been working slowly on adding cleaning and trimming all our citrus trees. Oro blanco, blood orange, bearss lime, meyer lemon and kishu mandarin all have their new “hair cuts”. We’re super excited to see all the new growth because that’s the first sign of Spring.
Hope your weather is warming up slowly for all our friends outside of Southern California!

Great recipe! It was so good! Thanks a lot!
Very delicious! I love new takes on bean dips and I also happen to love sriracha!
This sounds lovely. Going to give this a go. thanks for sharing this recipe.

Best dip ever! I added arugula for some freshness, it came out amazing. Thank you for a great recipe!
Hi Todd & Diane! Just wanted to let you know that I featured this recipe (with full credit and a link-back) in a dip recipe roundup today on Foxes Love Lemons. Have a great day!
Look very delicious 😀
I just made this and it is very good! Mine was REALLY spicy! I happened to have an extra can of cannellini beans so I just doubled the recipe. My only recommendation would be to add the Sriracha sauce last and only add half. You can always add more:) This dip is a nice change of pace from my usual hummus!
Just made this as a quick snack before dinner. My daughter and husband loved it and love that spicy flavor. Did the lemon verses lime because didn’t have the lime and I wil try the lime next time. This will be a staple snack in our household
We made this for our superbowl party! We did feel like it needed something fresh or bright in there, so we added about a quarter cup of cilantro. Perfect! We have no leftovers! 🙂
Yep, this will be made for the Christmas party this evening. I’ve got all the ingredients in my cupboards already, perfect, thanks!
Saw this on Pinterest. Was amazed I had all the ingredients. Made it and it’s amazingly delicious! Perfect for snacking or a party. Thanks!
I made it tonight…. honestly my picture of it does not do it justice!
This dip is perfect for our family! I made it recently and am already preparing to make it again. Thanks for a quick, easy, healthy and tasty recipe!
Made this last week. Very original idea for bean dip–nice flavors. Next time I’ll be a little more bold with the sriracha. I’m usually a wimp when it comes to spicy food but I surprisingly wanted more heat!
What a healthy snack…I can’t wait to try it!
Yum!! We love sriracha and I am sure it perfectly compliments the creamy white beans! Love this recipe, will make it really soon. Thanks for sharing 🙂
the dip looks amazing! and stone fruit flowers are one of the most beautiful things ever! lovely all around!
Well, rats. I just used up the last of my white beans last night, and now I’m seeing your wonderful dip. Looks like I need to get more beans – this looks really, really wonderful! And I’m always on the hunt for a good use of sriracha! And I love, love, love the photos.
Has anyone tried this without the garlic? A friend cannot have garlic but it looks like the rest of the recipe might fit into his vegan diet. And I love surprising him with something he can eat at our office parties.
I just whipped up a batch of this dip and it’s fantastic! I may never eat store-bought hummus again!
It’s perfect…someone please stop me before I eat the whole bowl…
I made this dip last night. It was good but I found the whole clove of raw garlic to be a bit much. Maybe the particular clove I used was too big…but next time, I’m going to sub a little bit of garlic powder instead. Thanks for the inspiration!
I am definitely making this dip for our day of maple sap boiling (an outdoor activity!) and our sign of spring is taps in the maple trees!
What a fantastic idea. I must try this asap.
: ))

I made this today and it is excellent. I also normally make some flavor of hummus for our snaking pleasure but now have this!
Normally we are hummus folks, but this looks SO good! I will need to try it very soon. I think I actually have the ingredients, too!
Made the dip earlier tonight! It’s yummy! I added cilantro and extra garlic and garlic chili sause also by sirarcha but left out the sesame oil.
Wow! ….sriracha, beans, sesame…..this looks great! I can’t wait to try this!
Yummy. This is my kinda of dip. I love the flavors and spices and flavors thrown in here.
Looks very nice! A good veggie dip is always welcome on my table, ‘ve got to try this recipe
oh!!!looks so yummy, it’s that kind of recipe that you start eating and you can’t stop!!!!!!
I will definitely be making this bean dip within the next few days. I have everything on hand! 🙂
Spicy bean dip on toasts? It’s a complete meal! And it looks fabulous.
I am so smitten with the Oro Blanco grapefruits and kishu mandarins. I just can’t get enough of them!
See you soon 🙂
Just made the dip–flavor is fabulous. Mine came out quite a bit “oranger” due to the two tablespoons sriracha and thinner as I used the entire 1/4 cup water. I reduced the amount of olive oil to cut back on fat and it didn’t affect the flavor. Divine! Thanks for another great recipe!
We love spicy foods too!! Looks amazing!
absolutely ! this is amazing.
I have no doubt I’d love this dip. Yum!
Yes please!
This looks awesome! I love Sriracha sauce and can imagine this as a dipping sauce for grilled chicken!
This is very yummie!
This sounds fantastic! Love love love sriracha!!
Ohh….how did I miss that this is just the sauce I had in my potatoes and eggs?? Just diced up potatoes, sauteed in butter till tender and dark brown on the edges. Beat the eggs with a squirt of sauce, and cook over the poatoes. I often add some cheese on top. So yummy and filling!
I just found this through pinterest and it looks so very yummy. A bit like I make my hummus, with a bit of this and a bit of that. I think, and that came from my white beans on toast redo come to think of it. Thanks for sharing yummy, healthy food!
I have gotten to prefer the white beans for dips recently. And I love the taste of sesame oil AND siracha. Grocery shopping today. Yea!!!!
Love spicy and easy! This recipe meets both of those requirements and yes I want the cracker recipe, too.
That dip looks, and sounds really great. Love the combination of flavors. Now if only spring were to arrive a bit sooner in Wisconsin…
Holy sriracha this looks good! Can’t wait to try it, thanks for the great recipe!
I have a bottle of sriracha hot sauce but never think of using it. Should start with this dip 🙂 I wish we had flowers here but we still have snow on the ground. Can’t wait for Spring. Have a good one!
Yay for spring. We have not seen it yet up here in the Colorado mountains. I am bookmarking this bean dip recipe. Anything with Sriracha is good with me.
I love new takes on bean dips and I also happen to love sriracha! What a great combination (and lovely shots of spring!)
This sounds absolutely wonderful! And your plum blossoms are so beautiful!!
oh my…adding this to my “TO COOK” list.
Sriracha is quite the spicy friend. we use it in so many dishes. never thought to add it to a dip.
this dip looks fantastic! I want some now.
Hands down, I think this one of your most perfect photos. Honestly, I feel as if my finger just made that swirl right in the dip. It’s just lovely.
Printed this one out! Yum!
Looking forward to meeting you at Blissdom!
That dip sounds fabulous. I’ve been craving spicy food lately, and I keep meaning to make another batch of your sriracha, but I keep getting distracted, most by my blooming nectaplum. I was outside begging all the flowers to not fall off when the winds picked up last week.
this looks absolutely divine. here in MA spring feels a tad too far away for my liking but i hope to god no sudden april snowstorms PLEASE.
I love the sound of this dip! I am such a fan of dips and condiments….I like a little food with my big bowl of dip, if you know what I mean. Dip is it’s own food group 🙂
It was warmer here in San Diego for a few days but the past few, not so much. Colder and windier and less spring like…but it’s San Diego, not exactly Alaska.
oh I want the cracker recipe! sounds great.
