{snack time} white bean spinach dip
I don’t know what it is about kids and dip. I swear sometimes I should put my daughter’s dinner in the blender when she’s being picky and serve it as a dip and maybe then she would eat it. Here’s a simple, quick and tasty treat for everyone. White bean spinach dip is the perfect healthy, finger food for baby (from 8 to 10 months), school lunch, after school snack, or elegant enough to serve at a party.
White Bean Spinach Dip makes 1 1/2 cups
- 1 can (16oz) white (great northern) beans
- 1 cup packed baby spinach
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 3 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 Tbs rosemary, fresh or 1 tsp dried
- 1 tsp lemon juice*
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
*omit lemon juice for babies 12 months and younger
Rinse and drain the beans.
Place all ingredients into a food processor or blender. Puree for 1 minute until smooth.
Serve with crackers and vegetables. See how simple that was? She doesn’t even know she’s eating spinach.

Ha. That made me laugh – the thought of just dumping my kids’ dinner in the blender and giving them some carrot sticks for dipping. No matter what the dinner, I think they’d eat it! :)
Great recipe. Thanks for sharing.

My kids’ favorite meal used to be “Dip for Dinner.” This would have been a great one. But it’s never too late. I’ll make it the next time they visit. Love this recipe!

Oh thank goodness I’m not the only one that serves dip for dinner! :)
