    A healthy and creamy avocado and white bean dip with ginger, lime and a hint of wasabi flavor. An easy and healthy snack recipe!

    Avocado White Bean Dip with Wasabi and Ginger

    I feel like I'm the only person on this planet who doesn't watch football.

    If I did watch football, then I would have known that last week was the time to post snack food!

    Well luckily, even though I don't watch football and totally dropped the ball on Superbowl food, I happen to like chips and dip any day of the year.

    So here I am, one week late, with some awesome Superbowl everyday snack food in the form of this avocado white bean dip!

    Check out my recipe for the BEST Easy Homemade Hummus!

    Avocado White Bean Dip with Wasabi and Ginger

    First this was going to be wasabi hummus. But then I ended up using white beans, ditching the tahini, adding lime and ginger. So I figured at that point, I'd strayed pretty far from 'hummus'.

    So instead, let's call this white bean dip.

    And this dip wasn't quite right until I added a last-minute ingredient: avocado! The avocado-lime-wasabi-ginger all go together perfectly. Plus avocado also happens to make the creamiest dip ever.

    Has anyone ever snuck some wasabi in your food? I will never forget the time we went to an all-you-can-eat buffet and a 'friend' snuck wasabi onto my pasta. The pain that shot up my nose and down my throat was unbearable, and I have no desire to have it happen again. Ever.

    So no, this isn't a spicy dip. HOWEVER, if you enjoy torture the spice of wasabi, absolutely add more to the avocado white bean dip!

    And don't forget to make the sesame pita chips! They are so simple and so addictive! And you can't have dip without chips, can you?

    Alright. Avocado White Bean Dip. Sesame Pita Chips. We are good. Have a wonderful Wednesday!
