I quickly threw together this creamy dip for a dinner party the other night.  This fail proof recipe is super simple and sure to please.  Serve as a dip with fresh veggies and whole grain pita chips or upgrade your next sandwich with this guilt-free spread.

• 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon each: sea salt and black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Blend all ingredients (except parsley) until pureed.  Top with parsley and serve.
