Bean Obsession 3-Bean Dip

I can’t stop thinking about beans!

Beans on the brain I tell you.

Those warm earthy morsels fresh out of the pressure cooker. Full of flavor, nutrition, and a carefree spirit that says, “Make anything out of me!”

Quick and easy Mediterranean rice bowl. Rice, tomatoes, chickpeas, olives, lettuce, and tahini garlic sauce. What’s got you swooning?

Yesterday I did just that and made this pretty amazing rice bowl using some of my favorite freezer beans, chickpeas, for the job. P.s. I’m back on Instagram! Follow me.

While digging spoonful after spoonful into this bowl, I couldn’t get over how delicate and fresh the chickpeas tasted after living in the freezer for a month. They were just as good as when you pop the seal of the pressure cooker.

All of this reminded me that I had a stellar bean dip recipe to share!

I created this recipe after reaching for WildWood’s 3-Bean Dip at our co-op, only to discover it contained MILK. What?!

I know.

I was devastated. Mostly because I had already eaten half the container via imagination.

I took a mental picture of the ingredient list and rushed home to create a vegan-friendly version, which I am happy to share with you today!
