Classic Cannellini Bean Dip is a simple, delicious appetizer! Make it in 10 minutes, then serve with crackers or pita chips for dipping!
Rinse beans and drain. Once drained, measure out 1/3 cup of beans and set them aside (they'll garnish the finished dip).
Place remaining cannellini beans in food processor or blender. Process until mostly smooth.
Add garlic, bread cubes, olive oil, water, cumin, salt, pepper and Tabasco sauce. Continue processing until bean dip is very smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down sides of the processor or blender 2-3 times during this step.
Spoon cannellini bean dip into a serving dish. Use spoon to create a "well" in the center of the dip. This "well" needs to be large enough to hold reserved beans.
To garnish: Place remaining beans into the "well". Drizzle olive oil over beans and dip. Sprinkle lightly with paprika, poppy seeds and parsley (chopped or leaves).
Serve with pita chips, tortilla chips, or crisp crackers! NOTE: If necessary, you can make this dip 1-2 hours hours ahead. Cover bowl and refrigerate. After refrigerating, let dip sit at room temp. (uncovered) for 15 minutes before serving.
