HEALTHY CANNELLINI BEAN DIP

1/4 cup soft whole-wheat bread crumbs (or your favorite low/no carb bread crumbs)

2 tbsp water
2 tbsp canola or extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice

4 tsp minced fresh parsley
2 or 3 (depending on size) garlic cloves, peeled, halved
1/4 tsp salt
dash of cayenne pepper
dash of black pepper
1/4 tsp dried dill

In a small bowl, soak the bread crumbs in the water.
Meanwhile, in a food processor combine the oil, lemon juice, beans, parsley, garlic, salt, peppers, and dill; process until smooth. Add the bread crumbs and process again just until blended.
