The best beans for white bean dip
You can use any white bean for this bean dip recipe. Variations include navy beans, Great Northern beans, and white kidney beans (also called cannellini beans). Use canned white beans or scratch-cooked white beans for this bean dip. Either will be great!
How to serve artichoke bean dip
Serve this dip with crostini, veggies, soft French bread, or crackers for parties or packed in your lunch. To serve for parties, spread the dip over a plate drizzled with a little extra virgin olive oil and fresh herb sprigs. I recommend making this dip 24 hours before serving for optimal flavor.

This is super easy, fresh and delicious! I added fresh parsley, a couple cloves of garlic and some cayenne to give it some heat. Thank you!
The Kitchen Girl says
Yayy! So glad you enjoyed it and I love those add-ins 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback. Much appreciated!
SS says
As I am vegan I used a Vegan “feta” for this white bean dip. I was craving something savory to snack on and I happened to have everything for this dip. It was delicious!! I served the dip with some raw veggies (sugar snap peas, purple sprouting broccoli, carrots, celery, radishes, and baby Bok Choy pieces) and some toasted pita triangles that I toasted in the veg with a little live oil brushes on and some garlic powder and dried mixed herbs sprinkled on top. Next time I will make some seeded crackers to try with it. The dip was a major hit with everyone, even my hubby who is not normally a fan of any dips.
The Kitchen Girl says
So glad you liked it! Great idea to sub the cheese. You can always just leave it out and it's just as delicious and naturally vegan 🙂 Thanks for the feedback...much appreciated!
Randi says
Just made this and it's so easy! Since I am vegan I added nutritional yeast instead of the feta. Super nice. Thanks for the recipe!
The Kitchen Girl says
Thanks, Randi! I often leave the feta out of this white bean dip...it's so good on its own Glad you're enjoying it!
Girlfriend says
Girlfriend, This dip is awesome! The artichokes really shine in this dip. I love feta and it is definitely a plus. I did not use any of the herbs but I certainly did not miss them. Simple, quick and healthy!! YUM!
Traci Antonovich says
Yussssss GF! I'm so glad you love this one too! I never miss the herbs either...and I also love how quick and healthy this dip is. Now you've got me wanting to hop in the kitchen and make it 😉 xoxoxo

This would be perfect for holiday entertaining! Count me in.

Thanks so much Melissa! 🙂
Mary says
This looks super yummy. I know fresh herbs are best, but I’m curious as to whether or not you think any dried herbs could be substituted. Yes? No? What do you think?
Traci Antonovich says
Hi Mary, the only dried herb of those listed I'd use is basil. Even then, you'd only need a fraction of it and give it plenty of time to absorb the moisture of the dip to blend in properly. I personally would leave out the herbs and enjoy it without them...it's super delish that way! 🙂
Mary says
I’ll wait until I get the fresh. Thanks so much!
Traci Antonovich says
I think you won't be disappointed with that decision 😉 Love to hear about it when it happens. I really do love this dip without the herbs too!
