This White kidney bean dip | Cannellini bean dip made from scratch in instant pot is one of the recipes that I enjoy making for those evening hunger pangs or to entertain our friends. It is vegan, gluten free and absolutely delicious.

Less than 10 ingredients is all it takes to make this smooth and creamy White bean dip.

With a simple make ahead of time trick this white bean dip comes together in just 2 minutes. 

It is a great alternative to the classic hummus and can be very addictive.

So why is it different from hummus?

I have used coconut yogurt instead of oil and tahini which gives a unique refreshing taste to this dip setting it apart from the classic chickpeas hummus. Roasted garlic elevates the overall flavor.

This cannellini dip / white kidney bean is made by cooking the beans from scratch in my instant pot/ pressure cooker . I have pressure cooked it in my Instant pot . After getting my instant pot I have developed a ritual of boiling one kind of bean and lentil that will last me the entire week . This has immensely helped me to include protein in our diet with ease and on everyday basis. I just pressure cook a batch once or twice a week and keep adding to various recipes. How easy it is to get your daily dose of protein !

You may use you traditional stove top pressure cooker for the same or use the store-bought cans. Whatever works.

If you do not have an instant pot do not shy away from using canned beans .

Made with handful of ingredients if you have the beans boiled already, this dip comes together in 2 minutes .

Serve this dip with crackers ,chips carrots, celery or pita.

This time I served this white bean dip with home made crispy pita chips.
