Ingredients

  • 1 can (15-ounce) Cannellini or Northern White Beans Rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup Fresh Basil leaves
  • 1-2 ounces Pine Nuts Toasted
  • 1-2 cloves Garlic Minced, adjust based on preference
  • 1 Juice Lemon
  • 1.2 teaspoons Salt Or more to taste
  • ½ cup Olive Oil

Instructions

  • Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients. Gather all your ingredients. Rinse the white beans under cold water, wash and dry the basil, and peel and mince the garlic.
  • Step 2: Toast the Pine Nuts. In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant.

  • Step 5: Taste and Adjust. Taste the hummus and adjust with more salt or lemon juice as needed. Add more olive oil for creaminess if desired.
