Spicy White Bean Dip
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.

White Bean or Cannellini Beans
We love the creamy texture of white beans and cannellini beans. When blended, the beans always end up creamy and fantastic. The smooth texture has a much better mouthfeel. They’re not gritty or dry, so it doesn’t take as much time to keep blending them. Great Northern beans are very similar as well and are perfect for this dip.
Can you use garbanzo beans or chick peas?
Sure, you can use canned garbanzo or chick peas.
- These beans are more dry so you’ll need to add more water (or olive oil) to get the beans smooth and creamy.
- As you’re blending them, stir the dip often in between blending.
- Scraping down the sides helps as well so all the beans can be evenly incorporated into the dip.
Make-ahead party dip
You can make this dip about 3 days ahead of time. It’s that easy! We’ll make it and pour it into the bowl that we want to serve during the party. When we’re ready to serve, we just bring out the bowl and surround it with some crackers, toasted bread or fresh cut vegetables. That’s why this spicy white bean dip or cannellini bean dip is one of our favorite party appetizers. And best of all, the Asian flavors are fantastic.

I am so smitten with the Oro Blanco grapefruits and kishu mandarins. I just can’t get enough of them!
See you soon ๐
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!
