Ingredients:

Walnut White Bean Dip
 ¾ cup California walnuts, toasted 
 1 (15 oz) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed 
 2 Tbsp olive oil 
 2 Tbsp lemon juice 
 1 tsp lemon zest 
 1 small garlic clove 
 2 Tbsp fresh chives, chopped 
 2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped 
 ½ tsp sea salt 
 2–4 Tbsp cold water
Spring Crudité
 3 radishes
 2 small cucumbers
 ¼ cup sugar snap peas 
 8 mini sweet peppers 
 ¼ cup microgreens

Preparation:

1

Add the toasted walnuts, cannellini beans, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, and salt to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Add cold water 1 Tbsp at a time until the dip is creamy and scoopable. Once smooth, fold in the chopped chives and parsley for a fresh, herby finish. Refrigerate the dip for 20–30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop and the texture to firm slightly.

2

Wash and prepare the spring vegetables. Halve the radishes, slice the cucumber into ribbons or rounds and trim snap peas. Drain and pat all vegetables dry.

3

Spoon the dip into a bowl, drizzle with olive oil and finish with extra herbs if desired. Arrange the spring vegetables and microgreens around the dip.
