This Vegan White Bean Dip is creamy with rich garlic lemon flavors. It's made from white beans instead of chickpeas, which add an ultra-creamy texture to the dip.

Pour the water and ice cubes into a small bowl. You will use this iced water at the end of the recipe.
Pour the olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic into the bowl of a food processor or high-speed blender. Process or blend the mixture on medium speed (speed 3 of a Vitamix blender) for 30 seconds until creamy.
Add the white beans, salt, pepper, cumin, and cilantro.
Process the dip on medium-high speed until it's smooth. Stop the blender or food processor a few times and scrape down the sides of the bowl. If using a blender, use the tamper attachment to push the dip down to the blade.
If too thick to your liking, keep processing while adding some of the iced water gradually.
I add 3 or 4 tablespoons of water, but you can add more or less depending on how thick you like your hummus. Stop when the texture is to your liking.
Notes
Note 1: You can use canned, drained butter beans or navy beans.Storage: Store the hummus in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 4 days.Allergy Swaps: Find some ingredient substitution ideas below if you need them.
Tahini-Free - You can remove the tahini from the hummus recipe without adding any substitute. However, I recommend swapping for 2-3 tablespoons of plant-based Greek yogurt to add creaminess.
Oil - Any oil can be used in hummus recipes, but avocado oil and extra virgin olive oil are the ones that give it the best flavor. Avoid high-flavor oils like sesame or peanut oil.
