    White Bean Dip with Sea Salt Pita Chips

    Christmas is a time of get togethers. Of people dropping over to catch up and of catching up over drinks.

    It's times like these you want something delicious to nibble on, but don't want to go to a whole lot of effort either, but by the same token don't want to settle for store bought either. This is where quick little recipes like this White Bean Dip with Sea Salt Pita Chips come into the picture.

    It's moreish and addictive....and a wonderful way to sop up some of that alcohol we all drink probably a little too much of over the holiday season. Myself included, particularly when it comes to champagne, which is my tipple of choice. 🙂

    I love bean based dips, and as a result I usually make this White Bean Dip or hummus when guests come over. Bean dips are delicious and satisfying, and healthy too. And I'm sure we could all do with enjoying something a little healthy around this time of the year!

    This dip is made from buttery smooth cannellini beans, which contain a wonderful detoxifying enzyme called molybdenum, a mineral that in addition to it's detoxifying qualities helps prevent headaches. Just the thing you need when you've indulged in one too many glasses of Christmas bubbles!

    The pita chips are equally as moreish, and a much healthier alternative to butter laden crackers. While I've gone with a simple sea salt pita chip you can easily customise them by adding your own herbs or spices.

    Simple, delicious, and quick and easy to prepare, it's also a wonderful dish to make when you have unexpected guests pop in for a Christmas drink.

    So tell me, what quick and easy appetisers do you have in your repoirtoire that you bring out when unexpected guests pop in?

      I love bean based dips too and the best part about this recipe is that to make it gluten free you just need to make sure the pita bread is not made from wheat flour!

        It is indeed. Give me a bottle of champagne and some dip and perhaps some cheese too and I'm one happy camper 😉

      I'm always looking for recipes to go with our Friday drinks and the fact that this will help prevent headaches works for me.

      I often make a dip with white beans instead of chickpeas, loaded with herbs and garlic and perfect with homemade pitta. Love the idea of the salty crunchy chips too - perfect for scooping up extra dip!

      I've never made a white bean dip but I've been meaning to. They're so delicious and so much more satisfying if you make them yourself! Yum!

      I usually end up in charge of the pre meal nibbles and rely on dips like this one to make ahead of time to bring to parties.
