Kale & White Bean Dip

11/15/2018

Blending kale into a simple, creamy dip is a great way to get kids involved in cooking with this leafy green! The kale is first cooked with garlic to infuse the dip with lots of flavor and make the kale easily blend into the white beans. Make sure you have your little one push the button on the food processor and watch the bean dip turn a beautiful shade of green! Serve the dip with crackers and fresh veggies, or spread it on bread for a delicious sandwich filling.

"Learning to Love Veggies" Tip

Your little chef can get hands-on experience by preparing the kale for this recipe: wash and dry the kale leaves, remove the kale stems, and rip or cut the kale into small pieces. This positive interaction with kale will encourage them to try the dip!

The kale is first cooked with garlic to infuse this dip with lots of flavor and make the kale easily blend into the white beans. Serve the dip with crackers and fresh veggies, or spread it on bread for a delicious sandwich filling.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 2 packed cups chopped or ripped kale leaves (any kind)
  • 1 15-ounce can white beans (2 cups), drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a sauté pan or skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add kale and a 1/4 cup of water. Stir occasionally until the kale is wilted and all the water has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Transfer cooked kale to a plate to cool.
  2. Meanwhile, add beans, the juice of ½ a lemon, remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, and salt to a food processor bowl. Once kale has cooled, add it to the food processor and blend. Add a splash of water if bean dip seems too thick to blend. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl then blend again until creamy.
  3. Taste for seasoning and add additional salt and/or lemon juice as needed. Serve as is or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
