HEALTHY HOMEMADE BEAN DIP

1/4 cup soft white whole-wheat breadcrumbs
2 tbsp water
2 tbsp canola or extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 can (15-oz) cannellini beans, rinsed & drained
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 breadcrumbs 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 breadcrumbs and process again just until blended.

Place in a small serving bowl and garnish as desired.

Serve with fresh veggies and/or whole grain party crackers.

Personal notes:
Yes, beans have carbs but they are "good" or "healthy" carbs!
The breadcrumbs give the dip body. Just be sure to use wholegrain breadcrumbs. Diabetics should never consume "white" bread.
